Splunk Search

Combine RegEx with a condition

Assume the following squid log samples:

(squid-1): 1515606581.001 100 1.2.3.4 TCP_TUNNEL/200 500 CONNECT some.fqdn.com:443 - DIRECT/1.2.3.4
(squid-1): 1515606582.002 200 1.2.3.4 TCP_TUNNEL/200 2000 CONNECT some.fqdn.com:443 - DIRECT/1.2.3.4
(squid-1): 1515606583.003 200 1.2.3.4 TCP_TUNNEL/200 5000 CONNECT some.fqdn.com:443 - DIRECT/1.2.3.4

Example search with a regular expression to filter for TIME, SIZE and URL:

 squid-1  |rex field=_raw "squid-1\):\s+\d+\.\d+\s+(?<TIME>\d+).*TCP_TUNNEL\/200\s+(?<SIZE>.*)\s+CONNECT\s+(?<URL>.*)\:" 
|  top TIME,SIZE,URL

How can i set a condition for the size to list only for example SIZE>1000?

Many thanks

You would do that after using rex to extract the field:

  squid-1  |rex field=_raw "squid-1\):\s+\d+\.\d+\s+(?<TIME>\d+).*TCP_TUNNEL\/200\s+(?<SIZE>.*)\s+CONNECT\s+(?<URL>.*)\:"
 | search SIZE>1000
 |  top TIME,SIZE,URL

hey try this

squid-1  |rex field=_raw "squid-1\):\s+\d+\.\d+\s+(?<TIME>\d+).*TCP_TUNNEL\/200\s+(?<SIZE>.*)\s+CONNECT\s+(?<URL>.*)\:" 
| where SIZE>1000  
|  top TIME,SIZE,URL

Let me know if this helps you!
