Hi team!

Couldn't find any info about it....but how make a proper search string to see what MAC address was on flapping port if port is down now

Hi @sSiDs 

You do not have MAC address in events, I am assuming Host as MAC and following query would be help to find flapping port.

 source is your port,  further if you have host to MAC address mapping in a lookup (aka csv) file then that can be enriched using | lookup command.

index=index_name sourcetype=cisco:ios "changed state to down"
| table _time source host

An upvote would be appreciated if it helps!
