index="win*" host="abc" -- doesnt give results
index="win*" host="ABC" -- gives results
But , it is not suppose to function that way , since I heard Field values are case insensitive? Kindly help
Field values in search are not case sensitive
However some other commands like stats, sort do utilise case sensitivity.
Also by default, lookups are also case sensitive (although this is configurable)
I can not offer an explanation of why the two very simple examples above would produce different results. Are you able to provide a screenshot demonstrating this?
Are you testing with simple queries (like the example) or is this behaviour observed as part of a larger query?
I have attached the screenshot. I am using the simple query which has only index and host name. The hostname is in the format -- AAAAAANNNNNA.
What is the format of the hostname?
I can see it's euraXXXXXXXX can you give a full example like this:
eura0-y34-abc3
AAAAN-ANN-AAAN
Where A is a letter, N is a Number and any other character is shown
It is like AAAAAANNNNNA
