Splunk Search

How can I use iplocation to include the IP in my alert search results for account lockouts?

I have a search to alert on account lockouts:

index=winsec EventCodeDescription="A user account was locked out"|dedup user| stats count as total by _time host user 

I need to get the "IP" as well when the account is locked out. Could you please help me on getting the IP address of the system along with this event alert search?

Regards,

You would have to use some DNSlookup type of things to get IP address from host name. And you can use clientip, src_ip, dns_ip, server_ip..Etc according to your Splunk naming conversion you have to use the search strings. See the props.conf file for host and ip

Try to use this query,

index=_audit action="login attempt" info="succeeded"| head 20 | iplocation clientip | table clientip, user, _time
