Splunk Search

How can I count the total IDS alerts per host within subnet?

I would like to create a search to show the number of IDS alerts per host. The problem I'm having is that I'm unable to combine the count where a host may trigger an alert as both the destination IP and the source IP.

What I would like to be able to do is combine these two searches into one that will calculate the total count of alerts for all hosts within my subnet whether they are the src or dest IP.

index=MyIDS sourcetype="suricata:alert_fast" src=MySubnet.0.0/16 | stats count by src

index=MyIDS sourcetype="suricata:alert_fast" dest=MySubnet.0.0/16 | stats count by dest

Thanks.

This should do the trick

 index=MyIDS sourcetype="suricata:alert_fast" src=MySubnet.0.0/16 OR dest=MySubnet.0.0/16 |eval Org_ip=coalesce(src, dest) | stats count by Org_ip

Thanks this put my on the correct path. I needed to filter out the IPs that were not in my organization, but that was easy enough.

Working search:

index=MyIDS sourcetype="suricata:alert_fast" | eval Org_ip=coalesce(src,dest) | search Org_ip=MySubnet.0.0/16 | stats count by Org_ip

This is logically what I would like to do but this search will not work.

    index=MyIDS sourcetype="suricata:alert_fast" src=MySubnet.0.0/16 OR dest=MySubnet.0.0/16 |rename src AS Org_ip, dest AS Org_ip | stats count by Org_ip | where Org_ip=MySubnet.0.0/16
