Splunk Search

Show multiple machines for lockouts

Hi all,

A past consultant of ours wrote the following correlation search to detect excessive user account lockouts:

index=wineventlog EventCode=4740| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime by user, signature | `ctime(firstTime)` | `ctime(lastTime)` | search count > 5

 

The results display the following:

usersignaturecountfirstTimelastTime
<user name>A user account was locked out<count>01/07/2021 07:57:1001/14/2021 02:56:51

 

The count above is a total of lockouts from different machines in our environment over a period of time.

 

How can I add an additional column to list the actual machine names causing the lockouts (this data would be taken from the particular field "dest_nt_domain") And is there a better way of doing this?

ie)

usersignaturecountfirstTimelastTimemachines
<user name>A user account was locked out<count>01/07/2021 07:57:1001/14/2021 02:56:51<computer1>, <computer2>, ...

Hi @Ewong,

Please try below;

index=wineventlog EventCode=4740 
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime values(dest_nt_domain) as machines by user, signature 
| `ctime(firstTime)` 
| `ctime(lastTime)` 
| search count > 5

Try this

index=wineventlog EventCode=4740| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime, values(dest_nt_domain) as machines by user, signature | `ctime(firstTime)` | `ctime(lastTime)` | search count > 5
