Splunk Search

Show items which appear in clusters

I have a log file of the following sort:

 vendor productId clusterId
A        1         1
B        2         1
A        3         1
C        4         4
D        8         8
D        9         8
D        10       10

Now I would like to select those vendors who have a least one productId which is contained in a cluster of size at least k. The cluster size corresponds to the number of rows with the same clusterId.

So, in the example above, companies A and B both appear in a cluster of size 3, D in a cluster of size 2 and company C in a cluster of size 1.

In SQL I would solve this using sub-queries, but I am not sure how to tackle this in splunk.

Try this (adjust where clause per your need)

your current search giving above output with fields vendor productId clusterId
| eventstats count as clusterSize by clusterId
| where clusterSize>k | stats count as productsCount by vendor

how do you determine cluster size?I mean what is the logic to determine cluster size for the input you have given?

I did not understand A and B both appear in a cluster of size 3, D in a cluster of size 2 and company C in a cluster of size 1.
I mean this does not match with no of rows with same cluster id . Kindly explain in detail.also put the corresponding size in a table..like at each row what will be the size
