Splunk Search

search of user logon count using lookup table to return all users

Hi,

I have a search like this to return the number of times users have logged in over a week.

source="mysource" "login succeeded" | eval luser=lower(user) | stats count(luser) by luser

I also have a lookup table with all users who have access to the system

Is there a way I could make my stats to put out a 0 count for users who are in the lookup table but haven't logged in?

Assuming name of the lookup file is allusers.csv and field name in the lookup is luser, try following

|inputlookup allusers.csv | table luser| eval count=0 | join type=left luser  [search source="mysource" "login succeeded" | eval luser=lower(user) | stats count(luser) as count by luser]

Thanks a bunch. The only change I had to make to your command was to add a "| rename count(luser) as count"

full command

|inputlookup allusers.csv | table luser| eval count=0 | join type=left luser [search source="mysource" "login succeeded" | eval luser=lower(user) | stats count(luser) as count by luser | rename count(luser) as count]
