Looks like Splunk could be very useful in performing an inventory of systems. I have a report that runs with these parameters:
Src_IP="10.3.30.*" | stats dc(Src_IP) as Src_IP by Security_ID Src_IP | sort src_IP ( *Run this with a time frame of TODAY*)
It works pretty good and is usable, but I was wondering if some of you long time Splunkers could help me refine it. My output is currently:
MyDomain\System1 10.3.30.15
MyDomain\FSmith 10.3.30.15
NULL SID 10.3.30.15
MyDomian\System2 10.3.30.20
MyDomain\BJones 10.3.30.20
NULL SID 10.3.30.20
So this lets me know that FSmith is using System1 and through a couple of days of checking I can reasonably surmise that FSmith is the dominate user of this system. Same with BJones and System2. How can I make it avoid the NULL SID entry? Is there a way to make it produce output like this:
MyDomain\System1 FSmith 10.3.30.15
MyDomian\System2 BJones 10.3.30.20
or better yet
System1 FSmith 10.3.30.15
System2 Bjones 10.3.30.20
These systems are remote, so I can't just walk over and do a visual inventory. And we have a couple of remote sites.
Ok. Sort of got it figured out. The Answer ... just change what is being searched.
The following is providing better output:
src_ip="10.1.30.*" |stats dc(src_nt_host) by src_nt_host user src_ip | sort src_nt_host
Example output returned is:
src_nt_host user src_ip
system1 JTKirk 10.1.30.15
system2 MRSpock 10.1.30.17

No. Unfortunately these systems are isolated and cannot reach the internet. You can probably see the same type logs in your Windows Security Logs.
LogName=Security
SourceName=Microsoft Windows Security Auditing
EventCode=4624
EventType=0
Can you post some sample logs which contains all three type of entry for Security_ID field? (one containing system, second containing user and third with NULL SID)
