This has to be splunk 101.
There has be something better than
NOT sourcetype=top NOT sourcetype=ps NOT sourcetype=openPorts
Something along the lines of
NOT sourcetype in (top, ps, openPorts)
???
Thanks for the help!
Oh .. and one more question, there's a shortcut to insert "NOT sourcetype=blah" by holding down a key combination and mouse clicking on the "blah" in the current search results. What is the key combination on both windows and mac? Thanks.
Hi di2esysadmin,
well, your example is not an OR
search, it is an AND
search. The AND directive is implied between terms, so you do not need to write it - this means
`foo AND bar`
is the same like this
`foo bar`
Back to your question: to search for multiple OR
statements you can do something like this:
`NOT ( sourcetype="top" OR sourcetype="ps" OR sourcetype="openPorts" )`
Please see the docs on writing better searches, where you can see that one should avoid NOT
searches but instead search for event you want. NOT
searches will have negative performance impact on long time searches.
Regarding the keyboards shortcuts, find information in the docs about Keyboard_navigation_using_Firefox_and_Mac_OS_X
hope this helps ...
cheers, MuS
Concerning the NOT sourcetype=blah
key combination, that used to be Alt+Click in the Splunk<=5 flashtimeline
view, but for me that stopped working in the Splunk 6 search
view. It's probably going to be fixed in the next major version as per http://answers.splunk.com/answers/109473/alt-click-not-working-selected-fields
