Splunk Search

If statements inside search

Vip_Mark
Explorer

I am currently using an Input token called OS.

I have three values for the token:

     MAC 

     Windows

     Linux.

In my visualization I want to say: 

If OS = Mac . Then run this search.

If OS = Windows. Then Run this search

If OS = Linux. Then run this search.

 

I am aware that the EVAL command has decision logic built into it but I don't think that  it can handle sub searches inside the case. Any help is appreciated 🙂

Thank you,

Mark

Is your input a dropdown? If so, set the value to be the search corresponding to the label and then use the token as (part of) your search
