Splunk Search

Retrieve result from list

I have a field in log like:

"policies":["Test1"]

for which I am not able to search through the keyword when I have the query:

index=myindex host=myhost policies=Test1

 

Since policies is a list and I cant be able to directly search it.

Is there any specific way I can search for inputs available in a list?

Hi

based on your example you probably have an event which is JSON or partially has JSON? Then you could do e.g.

index=_internal earliest=-1m
| head 1
| eval _raw = "{\"policies\":[\"Test1\"]}"
```previous generate example event```
| spath
| search policies{} = "Test1"

 

Your event is something like this in JSON format:

{"policies":[
  "Test1"
]}
