Splunk Search

Custom Condition

Path Finder

Hello, I have a table that returns with these fields: AvgLow and AvgLowNOW, but they appear many times, like this

AvgLow AvgLowNOW
a b
a b
a b
a b
a b

I need to create an alert for when AvgLowNOW is greater then AvgLow. But in custome search condition with "search AvgLowNOW>AvgLow", I catch no events. What can I do to solve this?

Thank you

Try if() or case() eval functions
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.4/SearchReference/Eval

  • hypothetical example:
  • index=appmgmt | eval x=if(status>=status_description,1,0) | table x

Hi Tiago,

From your comments in the other answer, it looks as though you're nearly there. The where function is definitely your friend.

<base search> | where AvgLow < AvgLowNOW

This will return all results where AvgLowNOW is greater than AvgLow (no need to dedup)
