I'm searching in our IIS logs. I'm looking for a web POST action. The problem is that this POST action happens after one gets to the object page, which is indicated with a URL parameter. So like, example data:
_time x_uid cs_method cs_Referer cs_uri_stem cs_uri_query
2018-04-10 12:01:00 52634 POST http://ref.url/obj/p.htm http://ref.url/obj/p.htm
2018-04-10 12:00:30 52634 GET http://ref.url/obj http://ref.url/obj/p.htm
2018-04-10 12:00:00 52634 GET http://ref.url http://ref.url/obj ?id=123
The criteria I need to find is all times when someone POSTs on that specific page. What I want to also get is what ID was posted against (123, in the above example).
Is that possible? I'm trying to read up on transactions and maps, but I'm not getting it.
Assuming x_uid
can be used as a SessionID, like this:
Your Existing Search Here
| eventstats values(cs_uri_query) AS cs_uri_query BY x_uid
| search cs_method="POST"
You could try it like this:
index=whatever your-search-terms
| transaction 52634 startswith=eval(isnotnull(cs_uri_query)) endswith=eval(like(cs_method, "POST"))
You might need to fine tune the transaction, find more details here: transaction docs
If x_uid is uniq, you could use stats to get id value from event with cs_method GET.
