Is it possible to define multiple evals as default for each search?

[HeinzWaescher]

Hi,

I would like to know whether it is possible to perform something like this per default for each and every search in the background:

| eval _raw=split(_raw, user)
| eval user_hash=sha256(user)
| eval _raw=mvjoin(_raw, user_hash)

Thanks in advance

before i go further, your search is very heavy as it calculates all data and hashes user, if you want to mask the user field, you can do it at index time with props.conf and tranforms.conf also, check out the new feature in Splunk 8.0 around work with data before its indexed
i think the closest to what you are after is: "search filters" however, although they have some downsides,
read here:

there is another doc that i cant find at the moment.
regardless, i think that what @kamlesh_vaghela suggested (macros) is a better solution, as you will can also put variables in them and they are knowledge objects and not roles configuration.

hope it helps

If you know the user,

user user_hash

It would be nice to create a CSV with the value of and auto lookup

I think it is not possible. But to achieve this, you have to create a macro with below search which can be use in all searches.

| eval _raw=split(_raw, user)
| eval user_hash=sha256(user)
| eval _raw=mvjoin(_raw, user_hash)

Like:

search index=main `my_macro`

I thought about using macros. But I would like have a solution that the user don't have to use actively.
It should be done by default for a defined role.
