Splunk Search

Is it possible to diff file hashes to display if some of the hashes of /etc/ files have changed?

Hi,

I have created a script input deployed on several servers which creates a lot of hashes from /etc folder and sub folders. ~1300 files with fingerprint

With rex I have extracted the fields:

_raw=272913026300e7ae9b5e2d51f138e674  /etc/filename  valid fields: hash=272913026300e7ae9b5e2d51f138e674  file=/etc/filename  host=server1, server2, server3, serverX
_time=every 2 minutes

My search is scheduled every 3 minutes:

index="linux" sourcetype="config_hash" | rex field=_raw "(?<hash>.*)\s\s(?<file>.*)" | diff attribute=file position1=1 position2=2

But I get irrelevant result. The result's file hash is the same.
It is possible to display if some of the hash of /etc/ files has changed?
