Splunk Search

Search with placeholder

I would like to filter the following messages in a way that i would get only the events where "DISK "?" Status : Online, Spun Up" AND "DISK "?" State : Warning" does match. The problem is that the placeholder "?" should be the same Number.

Therefore the search should only return the DISK 3 Error but not the DISK 4 one. Since the Index of the DISK could have different Numbers, i have to work with a placeholder but i don't know how.

I would create a props.conf and transforms.conf for this sourcetype and do the field extractions that way. It looks like you may either need to setup these events to be broken out into transactions or segments. Once you do that you can use regex to extract the disk number in each segment/transaction, then use something like:

where disk_spunup=disk_warning
