Splunk Search

How to search and only return results for users with more than one recorded IP address (src_ip) against their username?

Hi All,

Having issues with trying to get a search to work. Below is the sample data after I write the following query

index=index sourcetype=sourcetype | stats values(src_ip) by user

Data:

>user src_ip
>_________________
>testuser 1.1.1.1
> 1.1.1.2
>_________________
>testuser1 2.2.2.2
>_________________
>testuser2 3.3.3.3

What I am trying to get out a search is, if a person has two recorded IP addresses against their name, return the result to me. So in the above data sample I am only interested in testuser, not the rest. Just imagine that 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 are aligned in the same field ;).

Look forward to your responses and thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

You can try using dc command. Try following query:

index=index sourcetype=sourcetype | stats dc(src_ip) as UniqueIPCount by user | where UniqueIPCount > 1

Thanks!!!
