How can I exclude only from source X to destination Y and Z?

Hello, I'm working on a use case where I have 1 source and 2 destinations. Everything that is found between the source and the 2 destinations need to be excluded. So I've used:

where source = X AND destination != Y OR destination != Z

But this will filter the logs and will display only the logs that comes from source X and the logs that comes from other sources will be excluded as well.

How I can exclude only from source X to destination Y and Z ?

Hi @danutmatei,

if you want to exclude from your results the events from source and one of the destinations, you could run something like this:

index=your_index NOT (source=X (destination=Y OR destination=Z))
| ...

Ciao.

If I have the logs from a data model, can I use this ?

from datamodel=firewall_logs where NOT (source="X" (destination="Y" OR destination="Z"))

thank you
