Hi, I had this csv list

command_Rexcomment_remark
*uname -amalicious
*arp*malicious
*tcpdump*malicious

 

I want to search for events (it had data.command field that hold the command executed in linux server)

How can I search and filter out those event matched 1 of those regex in the list?

If you have that CSV file, then you should create a lookup DEFINITION that is using that CSV - then make the advanced option 

WILDCARD(command_Rex)

and then in your SPL

| lookup definition_name command_Rex as data.command OUTPUT comment_remark

This assumes that your event field 'data.command' that contains a string that is to be matched against the command_Rex, which contains wildcards - so this will do a wildcard match - NOT a regex.
