HI
If I replace, for example, src=10.0.0.1 with my tag containing src=10.0.0.1 in the query, it doesn't work. Please help.

Hi @toporagno ,
let me understand:
- you have an eventtyle like "index=my_index src=10.0.0.1" that tags these events with a tag like "MY_TAG",
- you have a search that uses the above src and it runs,
- you want to replace the condition "src=10.0.0.1" with the condition tag=MY_TAG,
- and it doesn't run,
- is it correct?
If this is your use case, as also @ITWhisperer asked, the first thing is sharing the search and the eventtype associated to the tag.
Then, tag is the only field case sensitive, are you sure that the tag value is correct?
Second check: did you tried to replace the condition "src=10.0.0.1" with the eventtype associated to the tag? maybe the two conditions aren't compatible.
Ciao.
Giuseppe

Please provide more details, for example, what do you mean by tag? how do you set it up? how do you use it in your search? in what way doesn't it work? do you have any errors reported? etc.
