Hi Splunker

 

I'm quite new to splunk. Can you please help me out on this search?

I have a table of antivirus database version of each servers.

Server       |          database version
A                                          5

B                                          4

C                                          4

D                                          3

E                                           5

Assume that A is my main server and the rest download from A. So I wanna compare the rest database version with A and display only the servers that version is less than A

so the expected result will be

Server       |          database version
B                                          4

C                                          4

D                                          3

Try some thing like this.

YOUR_SEARCH
| eventstats max(eval(if(Server=="A",database_version,null()))) as A_database_version
| where database_version< A_database_version | fields - A_database_version

 

My Sample Search :

| makeresults | eval _raw="Server,database_version
A,5
B,4
C,4
D,3
E,5"| multikv forceheader=1
| table Server,database_version
| rename comment as "Upto Now is sample data only" 
| eventstats max(eval(if(Server=="A",database_version,null()))) as A_database_version
| where database_version< A_database_version | fields - A_database_version

 

Thanks
