Splunk Search

Search keyword from file input

Hello Team, 

I have about 10K keywords to search. It is not practical to construct a large query like below 

index=dev (key=val1 OR key=val2 OR key=val3.....key=val10000)

Is there any other way to search?

Thanks

Phaniraj

Could you try to put those keywords on lookup file or kv-table and use it as a sub search?

Something like this

index=dev [ |inputlookup keys.csv | fields key | format ]

Hi, 

Should key (fields key) be the name of the field in the event log?

Thanks

could you just do something like the below with a wildcard

index=dev key=val* | stats count by key

I can't use the regular express * as the values are unique without any patterns
