Hi,

I have this table of data:

Name Age Address
Mark 21 1 st xxxxx
Elisabeth 21 2 st xxxxx
Jane 22 3 st xxxxx
Bryan 24 4 st xxxxx

 

I want to list only the elements having a specific age. Exp: list of person with Age=21

Name Age Address
Mark 21 1 st xxxxx
Elisabeth 21 2 st xxxxx

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi @sdhiaeddine,

if these ields are already correctly extracted you can put the condition in the main search:

index=your_index Age="21"
| table Name Age Address

if the fields aren0t already extracted, you should share some samples of your logs to create the extracting regex.

i hint to follow the Splunk Search Tutorial (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchTutorial/WelcometotheSearchTutorial) to be authonomous in this kind of searches

Ciao.

Hi  @gcusello,

Actually I run this to extract the data from a json like this:

{
	"list_element": [
		{
			"Address": "3 st xxxxx",
			"Age": "22",
			"Name": "Jane"
		},
		{
			"Address": "2 st xxxxx",
			"Age": "21",
			"Name": "Elisabeth"
		},
		{
			"Address": "1 st xxxxx",
			"Age": "21",
			"Name": "Mark"
		}
	]
}



index=* | stats values(list_element) as list_element by database
| spath input=list_element
| table Name Age Address

I guess, I need to set a condition after the "spath"?

Hi @sdhiaeddine,

the spath ommand must be before the stats command:

index=* 
| spath 
| where Age="21"
| table Name Age Address

or

index=* 
| spath 
| stats max(Age) AS Age values(Address) AS Address BY Name
| where Age="21"
| table Name Age Address

Ciao.
