Help on eval strange behaviour

hello

I have a strange behavior with an eval command

if I am doing this it works well

 

 

| eval site=case(site=="0", "AA", site=="BR", "BB", site=="PER", "CC", 1==1,site) 
| eval s=lower(s)  
|search site="$site$"

 

 

 but if I put | search site="$site$" just after the eval, the search command is not recognized as a splunk command!

 

 

| eval site=case(site=="0", "AA", site=="BR", "BB", site=="PER", "CC", 1==1,site)   
|search site="$site$"

 

 

 what is wrong please?

I found the solution by parsing each pipe section on a separate line.

It would be better if you can share your sample XML. It will help us to understand the token and the filtration.

Meanwhile, you can try the below XML I've tried to replicate the issue with fix.

<form version="1.1">
  <label>Site Filter</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="text" token="site">
      <label>Site</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>| makeresults 
| eval site="0|BR|PER|KAMLESH", site=split(site,"|") 
| mvexpand site 
| eval site=case(site=="0", "AA", site=="BR", "BB", site=="PER", "CC", 1==1,site)
| eval siteFilter="$site$"
| search (siteFilter="" OR site="$site$") | table site
</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">50</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

 

I hope this will help you.

 

Thanks
