Splunk Search

String matches

I have an events for each device with multiple checks as below and i want to find the device count which has "Pass" on all the fields and the device count which has "Fail" in even one field

Device1 check1: Pass check2: Fail check3: Pass
Device2 check1: Pass check2: Pass check3: Pass
Device3 check1: Fail check2: Fail check3: Pass

I'm looking something similar to this

Healthy_Device_Count =1
Un_Healthy_Device_Count=2

Hi @dustintroop,
you could use eval to identify status events, something like this:

your_search
| eval Check=if(check1="Pass" AND check2="Pass" AND check3="Pass","Pass","Fail")
| chart count OVER Check BY Device

Ciao.

Thanks Ciao for the Time & Response. I'm getting error that "The arguments in the if function are invalid". Sorry I think i'm not clear in explaining the problem statement. Let me try again.

Let's say if i have a 100 events from hundred different devices. I want to count the number of events that contains a string "Fail" and the Number of events that doesn't contain the string "Fail"

Hi @dustintroop,
check how you wrote the eval statement: you need to use AND between conditions and quotes for the all the values.
Anyway, you could also have a different approach

 your_search
 | eval Check=if(searchmatch("Fail","Fail","Pass")
 | chart count OVER Device BY Check

Ciao.
Giuseppe
