Splunk Search

Conditional Macros

Hi,

I want to dynamically include macros in search depending on the eval statements. I want to acheive something like

 .... | eval temp = if (condition, macro1, macro2) | further processing.

Is it possible to achieve in Splunk?

Thanks,
Vishal

Hi vganjare,

no, I think it is still not possible, but you can build an eval based macro http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/Search/Usesearchmacros

something like this:

if($arg1$=="condition","true","false")

cheers, MuS
