Hello community!

I'm looking for a way to optimize this search below and I need some help :

 

index="oswinsec" source="XmlWinEventLog:Security" TargetUserName Kerberos earliest=-5min
| regex TargetUserName="^([a-z]+)\.([a-z]+)"
| regex IpAddress="\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}" | eval Octet1=mvindex(split(IpAddress,"."), 0) | eval Octet2=mvindex(split(IpAddress,"."), 1) | eval Octet3=mvindex(split(IpAddress,"."), 2) | where (Octet1=10 AND Octet2=244 AND Octet3>=192 AND Octet3<=255) OR (Octet1=172 AND Octet2=24)  
| dedup TargetUserName | table TargetUserName IpAddress

 

 

Thanking you!!

regards

What is it you wish to optimize?

Have you looked at the cidrmatch function?
