Splunk Search

Result that does not match an item in list

With a search I would like a result that does NOT match an element in a list

For instance:

 

 

 

index=myindex source="mysource_*" earliest-30m

 

 

 

I'd like to compare the sources against a list, such as:

 

 

 

("*one","*two","*three")

 

 

 

If the search results, for instance, DON'T include events with the source "mysource_three" I would like a result that states this.  Ultimately, I'm looking to create an alert based on the query; if there are no events seen from some sources in the last 30 minutes.

Figured out what I needed

index=myindex source="mysource_*" earliest=-30m | stats count by source | table source | eval Found=1 | append [|inputlookup mylookup_table.csv | table source | eval Found=0] | stats max(Found) as Found by source | where Found=0

Perhaps this will get you started.

index=myindex source="mysource_*" earliest-30m
| regex source!="mysource_(?:one|two|three)"

If you get any results, then trigger an alert.

This results in a 'source' that did not match an element in the list.  I can do this without issue.  I'm trying to determine which element(s) did not have any matching events (there would be no matching events in the last 30 minutes)

I got lost with all the negatives in that.  What problem are you trying to solve?

I'm simply trying to determine/list any elements ("*one","*two","*three")  did not have any matching events in given time frame
