Any reason why this can't be visualized in a geo cluster map?

source="udp:514" index="syslog" NOT src_ip IN (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 17.0.0.0/8) action=DROP src_ip!="162.159.192.9" | iplocation src_ip | geostats count by country

The field is "Country" not "country".

Try

...
| iplocation src_ip 
| geostats count by Country

 

Happy Splunking!

So, why is Lat/Long included as a data point? Even the tutorial I'm following has the same result, but surely there is a way to not show these since its sort of meaningless? (And don't call me Shirley!) 🙂

@ChocolateRocket, the latitude and longitude fields are generated by the iplocation command and they are used to plot the data points on the map. You could remove them but then that would break the visualization.

Good luck, we're all counting on you.

If that is correct, then the planet earth and all humanity is in the wrong hands.

Good lord. that was too easy.

Appreciate the help.

I keep forgetting I'm in a 'Nix world now.

Thank goodness PowerShell doesn't mind capitalization rule breakage. 😄

The iplocation command generates the capitalized field "Country", not "country", so it should work if you capitalize Country:

| geostats count by Country

Sweet, I was probably typing (got distracted) when you were posting.  Glad we had the same answer.  🙂
