not able to search with any attribute which are having .(dot) like env.cookieSize

NOT WORKING

------------------

 

index="ss-prd-dkp" "*price?sailingId=IC20240810&currencyIso=USD&categoryId=pt_internet" | spath status | search status=500 | spath "context.duration" | search "context.duration"="428.70000000006985"| spath "context.env.cookiesSize" | search "context.env.cookiesSize"=7670

 

WORKING

 

index="ss-prd-dkp" "*price?sailingId=IC20240810&currencyIso=USD&categoryId=pt_internet" | spath status | search status=500 | spath "context.duration" | search "context.duration"="428.70000000006985"

 

Let me know the solution for this 

context: { [-]
     duration: 428.70000000006985
     env.automation-bot: false
     env.cookiesSize: 7670
     env.laneColor: blue

}

Use single quote to protect field names when there is some undesirable side effects from flattened JSON path. (search command cannot finesse this, unfortunately.)

index="ss-prd-dkp" "*price?sailingId=IC20240810&currencyIso=USD&categoryId=pt_internet"
| where status=500 AND 'context.duration' == 428.70000000006985
 AND 'context.env.cookiesSize' == 7670

But note:

  • Please use raw text format when sharing structured data.
  • Those spath commands are not necessary.

how we can filter it with providing the value 7670

Try using the json_extract_exact function (which doesn't use paths and therefore avoids the issue of keys looking like paths.

| spath context
| eval cookiesSize=json_extract_exact(context, "env.cookiesSize")
