Hello,

I am new in Splunk, Looking for result which is coming from Android and IOS devices, seeing android and IOS query in logs but need to count, How many queries are coming from such devices, so can easily make a dashboard for same.

if you guys suggest that query, it would be a great help for me.

Here it is logs below for reference which showing a result for android devices.

"{"cluster_id":"sc-a2","log":"11.16.39.12 - - [10/Jan/2020:10:05:48 +0000] \"GET /so/search?cat_id=1255027787111_1255027789273&client=us_gr&hd=false&ht=false&offset=10&page=1&prg=android&ps=30&sort=best_match&stores=1197"

Thanks,
ss

| eval _raw="{\"cluster_id\":\"sc-a2\",\"log\":\"11.16.39.12 - - [10/Jan/2020:10:05:48 +0000] \"GET /so/search?cat_id=1255027787111_1255027789273&client=us_gr&hd=false&ht=false&offset=10&page=1≺g=android&ps=30&sort=best_match&stores=1197\""
| rex "(?<mobile>(?<=g=).+?(?=&))"

recommend:

index=np_search-be1559690845 kubernetes.container_name=reso-og stream=stdout
| rex "(?<mobile>(?<=g=).+?(?=&))" 
| rex "\[(?<time>\d{2}/\w{3}/\d{4}:\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} \+0000)\]"
| eval time=strptime(time,"%d/%b/%Y:%T %z")
| spath 
| eval log = mvindex(split(log," "),0)
| fieldformat time=strftime(time,"%c")
| table time cluster_id log mobile

Hi, @sinha58
If you can identify the string, you can extract in this way.


Explanation:

  1. regex: cf. regex101.com
  2. spath: extract JSON, cluster_id and log objects.
  3. mvindex: extract IP address(split spaces)
  4. fieldformat: change time(UNIX epoch) to readable. The reason I don't use strftime is that UNIX time is just fine for future aggregations.

Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) is processed in order.
please try one by one line and check result.

good explanation in brief @to4kawa, thank you so much for your valuable response. Is there any good way to learn Splunk other than Splunk doc.

Have a nice day man!!

In my case, I run the queries of Splunk answers line by line and check the result of the command.
Some people write cool SPL.

Happy Splunking.
