How to edit my search to determine IP Segment using a lookup?

Splunk newbie here....
Looking to determine IP Segment Name using a lookup table. I have a csv file that has three fields: from - to - segment Name. From = start of ip_range, to = last ip address in the range and segment Name is the Name for the ip_range.

In my search I have a src and that src = ip_address. So, my end result is to have the segment Name added to my results table when the src ip falls between from and to.

My search at the moment:

index=symantec sourcetype=dlp:policy_monitor | table _time id app action category src src_host dest

Current Table Results:

2015-06-10 12:00:00  46522  Endpoint HTTPS   None   SSN   1.2.3.15   my_laptop   "some_website"

My lookup file:

all_networks.csv

The contents are many but the gist of it:

from        segment Name            to
1.2.3.4     My_Local_Network     1.2.3.255

So my desired end result would be:

2015-06-10 12:00:00  46522  Endpoint HTTPS   None   SSN   1.2.3.15   my_laptop   "some_website"  "segment Name"

Thanks in advance!

Hi wtaylor149,

take a look at this answer, where it is explained how to use a match_type = CIDR() for a lookup http://answers.splunk.com/answers/93620/lookup-with-cidr.html

cheers, MuS

What you really need is a CIDR lookup.

Restructure your lookup to have 2 columns:

segment, segment_name
1.2.3.0/24, bob's network
1.2.4.0/24, bill's network

Then, create a lookup definition (in transforms.conf), and set match_type=cidr.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try this today once I create all the cidr blocks in the csv file. I was being lazy and didn't want to do that. 🙂
