Hi

I have to create a complex SPL command (for me ;-))
In this command, I want to search a specific word which start by W10P02xx in a log file and with a date which is previous to month -2 (26 January for today)
I think we have to use a WHERE condition but after???
Is it possible ith SPL command?
Thanks a lot

Hey

The first part you can you where yourfield like W10P02xx%

The month part, you create a variable last_time with the function relative_time and get 2 months backwards. Then use it to filter your results with an AND
