Recursive query with unlimited depth

Hello,

I want to search for all src hosts that connect to a specific destination with or without intermediary hopes. I want to use a recursive query on the core firewall logs and its dest and src fields to find all sources.
Would you please help me with this query?

Can you describe your events? Are you using one source type with src and dest fields? What "connects" a src to a dest if intermediate connections exist?

My events are firewall events with src, dest, and actions fields, and a firewall log event with allowed action is the connection between two nodes.

My events:

A -> target (raw event:  src=A dest=target action=allow)

B -> A (raw event: src=B dest=A action=allow)

C -> B (raw event: src=C dest=B action=allow)

D -> B (raw event: src=D dest=B action=allow)

A -> C (raw event: src=A dest=C action=allow)

C -> D (raw event: src=C dest=D action=allow)

My goal is to find A, B, C, D nodes (all nodes that have a route/connection to the target node) with a recursive query.
