Search a field for multiple values

[tmarlette]

I am attempting to search a field, for multiple values.

this is the syntax I am using:

< mysearch > field=value1,value2 | table _time,field

The ',' doesn't work, but I assume there is an easy way to do this, I just can't find it the documentation.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You can use the `IN` operator like:

error_code IN (4*, 500, 502, 503)

You can have both concrete values and wildcards.

field IN (value1,value2,value3)

Example:

index=network severity IN (low,high,medium)

Use field=value1 OR field=value2.

Should value1 or value2 be enclosed in quotes?

Hello,
I am trying to combine it with my search string but no result is returned.

index=index1  type=transaction (host="host1" OR host="host2" OR host="host3")

What is wrong?

Thanks, Regards, Rudo

@Georgin: It doesn't have to be quoted unless the value itself contains separators. E.g. field=0 OR field=1 is fine, but you would have to use quotes for field="My String With Spaces".

Yes . You may include it
