Splunk Search

Automatically add ORs between IPs for Dashboard

Hi Community,

Suppose I get a list of IPs once a week and I want to search all the indexes for these IPs. Is it possible to take a list of IPs, paste them into a field on a dashboard, click Submit to search all of the indexes (or maybe one or two from a dropdown) for any events? This includes Splunk automatically adding ORs between each IP.

Ideally, I want to copy and paste into a field, click submit and run the following query:

search index=* ( 10.0.0.1 OR 10.0.0.2 OR 10.0.0.3 )

Those results would be populated into a statistics table. Is there a more efficient way or is this even possible?

If you put this in your macros.conf

[ORify(1)]
args = x
definition = replace("$x$", "\s+", " OR ")
iseval = 1

you can paste your space-separated list of IPs into a text field and run this search:

index=* ( `ORify($IP_token$)` )

You can paste into a IPs.csv file with a header line that says IP_Address, upload the file as a lookup table, then do something like this:

index=* [|inputcsv IP.csv | rename IP_Address AS query]
