Solved: Defining variables or constants - Splunk Community

Splunk Search

I would like to be able to have a predefined variable or constant to run queries with by example

source="syslog" login ip!=OFFICEIPS

where OFFICEIPS is a set of ip's

that way it wont require for us to know all ips every time we do a search but just mantain a table or variable every time a new subnet is added
