Hey everyone,

Im trying to come up with a way to get a table stating that, a user was created in splunk had the "Require password change on first login" box checked,

is there any way to get that information?

See if you have the following fields in your audit index:

index=audit action=create_user

You should see within the raw log the passwordState field and the value should be along the lines of force password change. You can just rex that field out with this

| rex field=_raw "passwordState=(?<passwordState>[^\s]+)"

Then all you need to do from there is just table the fields:

| table _time, index, action, passwordState, *
