Splunk Search

A loop to mail individual events to different addresses

I have a simple search similar to this

host=ccirc.example.com | table email malware | sort email | uniq

which gives me results like this

freddy@example.com zeroconf
jimbob@example.com conficker
jamesdean@example.com citadel
marthastewart@example.com zeus

Is it possible for me to iterate through each line and send a boilerplate email to the address in the fist field, basically saying "you are infected with $virus"?

I should also note that the source file for this search is generated by a script once a day, so you don't see individual lines coming in 'real time.'

Any insights are much appreciated!

This functionality doesn't exist.
But you can create your own scripted alert that will create the emails after parsing the results.
