Fuzzy Search

[tb5821]

I have a field called 'err_msg' this field contains a long line which consists of the error as well as the file name and other details surrounding that error. What I'm looking for is the ability to do a 'fuzzy' search in splunk on err_msg so that it will lump similar errors together. Is this possible?

Did you try the cluster search command?

anomalies, anomalousvalue, kmeans, outlier

It might help you.

Thanks looks like cluster will do the trick!
