Splunk Search

Yes / No Column if EventCode Found in Lookup

I have a lookup table with certain Windows Event Codes.  I am searching our Windows index for all Windows Event Codes.  I would like a count of all Windows Event Codes, per Event Code, and a column that says whether that Event Code is in my lookup table.  This is what I am attempting partly with what I found on Answers, but it isn't working:

 

 

| inputlookup MyWinEvCodes 
| fields EventCode 
| append 
    [ search index=winsevlog 
    | stats count as Count by EventCode
        ] 
| eval Found = if(Count > 1,"Yes","No") 
| stats count by EventCode, Found 
| sort + count

 

Thank you in advance!

Try this query.

index=winsevlog 
| stats count as Count by EventCode
| fields - count
| lookup MyWinEvCodes EventCode OUTPUT EventCode
| eval Found = if(isnotnull(EventCode),"Yes","No") 
| table EventCode, Found
