Splunk Search

Search using lookup

splunkcol

Hello, I have two indexes to which I need to compare the source ip and if it is the same, show me a message like true or false.

This is what I did, but I know that the lookup is needed and I don't know how to use it well, could you give me a hand?

index=firewall
|eval Type_Cnx = if(dst_port="1446" OR dst_port="1444", "B2B", "B2C")
|stats count by Type_Cnx src
| fields Type_Cnx src
| appendcols
[ search index=linux UserIp description="my message*"]
|eval a= if(src==UserIp, "true", "false")

Given that appendcols merges the results from the first search with the results from the second search and that neither search in your example use any specific sort, it seems that it may well be random as to whether src equals UserIp.

Perhaps you should be using append to get the results from the second search, then using a stats command to join the two sets of results (you would have to rename or copy either src or UserIp (or both) to a field to "join" them by. Or use an outer join on the two searches.

You can then evaluate whether the ip was present in both searches (as src in one and UserIp in the other).
