How to Use * in escape sequence?

[Madhan45]

We can use \ as an escape sequence for special characters ",",(,),[,] and so on. How to use for * character?

[badarsebard]

If I understand your meaning, you are trying to find events that contain the asterisk (*) character. If so, then this is not possible using the backslash since Splunk treats the asterisk as a major breaker (see Event Segmentation below). According to the Search manual, if you want to search for an asterisk you will need to run a post-filtering regex search on the data, such as:

index=_internal | regex ".*\*.*"
