Splunk Search

How do I edit my chart count search returning HTTP codes to filter out codes 200 and 301 from the list of results?

Hi All,

source="/export/home/logs/access_log" | rex ".*?HTTP\/\d+\.\d+\" (?<status_code>\d+)"|chart count by status_code

This is giving me the all the HTTP codes and the corresponding counts as below

Code Count

200 5000
404 1,321
500 8,888
301 9,102

I don't want the 200 and 301 codes in my result set. For this, I tried the below logic, but never worked. It still lists the 200 and 301.

I need something like:

Code Count

404 1,321
500 8,888

source="/export/home/gpiadmin/logs/access_log" NOT (" 200 Bytes" AND " 301 Bytes" AND " 302 Bytes")|rex ".*?HTTP\/\d+\.\d+\" (?<status_code>\d+)"|chart count by status_code

Data String I am searching against:

Time Taken: 120039666 URL_STRING: /shop/dept_outfit.jsp 11.111.111.11 - - [28/Aug/2015:02:54:20 -0700] "GET /shop/dept_outfit.jsp HTTP/1.0" 200 Bytes: 56814 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; test/1.0; http://open.test.com/dev/test)";

Please advise.

Thre is more than one way as in Perl 😉

source="/export/home/gpiadmin/logs/access_log" NOT (" 200 Bytes" OR" 301 Bytes" OR" 302 Bytes")|...

or

source="/export/home/gpiadmin/logs/access_log" NOT " 200 Bytes" NOT " 301 Bytes" NOT " 302 Bytes"|...

or even

source="/export/home/logs/access_log" | rex ".*?HTTP\/\d+\.\d+\" (?<status_code>\d+)"|chart count by status_code | search NOT( status_code=200 ORstaus_code=301)

Try this:

source="/export/home/gpiadmin/logs/access_log" NOT (" 200 Bytes" OR " 301 Bytes" OR " 302 Bytes")|rex ".*?HTTP\/\d+\.\d+\" (?<status_code>\d+)"|chart count by status_code
