Splunk Search

Data model

Hi, 

how can I rewrite the following search using tstats and datamodel Network_Traffic?

index=*pan* sourcetype="pan:threat" severity IN ("high", "critical")

so far I have tested the following:

| tstats count from datamodel=Network_Traffic by All_Traffic.src_ip

but given the fact that “severity” is not a field included in the datamodel but just in the index, how can I add the condition severity IN ("high", "critical")?

 

thank you!

The tstats command only works with indexed fields.  If the field is not indexed and is not in a data model (same thing, really), then it can't be used with tstats.

So if a field is not “Cim compliant” doest that mean that it cannot be used in tstats?

CIM-compliance is different and has nothing to do with whether a field can be used in the tstats command.  CIM-compliance means a field has a name and value described in the CIM manual (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CIM/5.3.2/User/Howtousethesereferencetables).

The only fields the can be used in tstats are those created at index-time or those in an accelerated datamodel.
