How to set up an alert to trigger if any values change for 3 fields from the last scan and now?

Hi all,

From a scan report of Qualys, I will get IP and its PORT, TCP_PORT, UDP_PORT. Now when the scan is done after a week, if there is any change in PORT or TCP_PORT or UDP_PORT values, an alert should be triggered. Is there a way of comparing the two results?

for Example:

index="abc" IP=10.22.23.3 | table  LAST_SCAN_DATETIME, PORT, TCP_PORT,  UDP_PORT

IP=10.22.23.3
LAST_SCAN_DATETIME      
2016-06-05T06:32:42Z    ,  PORT - 8808, 2022.   TCP_PORT-135    UDP_PORT-123

2016-05-08T06:52:25Z       PORT - 8808. TCP_PORT-135    UDP_PORT-123    

A new port is added on 2016-06-05T06:32:42Z. How can I create an alert if there is any change in the values of these three fields?

Do you only want an alert if the last two scans are different?

If so try this:

 index="abc" IP=10.22.23.3 | head 2 | table PORT | transpose | where 'row 1'!='row 2'

For 3 or more past events, this solution becomes more difficult:

 index="abc" IP=10.22.23.3 | head 3 | table PORT | transpose | where 'row 1'!='row 2' OR 'row 1'!='row 3' OR 'row 2'!='row 3'

Try this

index="abc" IP=10.22.23.3 | timechat span=1d  dc(PORT) as Port  dc(TCP_PORT) as TCP  dc(UDP_PORT) as UDP | delta Port | delta TCP | delta UDP | addtotals | where Total!=0
