Same org as OP, different role. SendGrid - at this time only has webhook integration that uses OAUTH2 or Cryptographic Signaling with no ability to access header configuration to use the Splunk HTTP Event Collector tokens. The Token CAN be embedded in the URL target itself but might be able to be intercepted enroute before encrypted handshakes. If this happens another actor could potentially impersonate and flood the HEC with garbage data. Admittedly the attack surface is small and the damage is mostly ingestion and headache. It has less to do with PII protection and more so the non-repudiation factor in this case. If other Cloud based SaaS applications go this route then ingestion data from these will require cribl or some other other solution to serve as a receiver/validator before forwarding.

The last_time field is a numeric field that cannot accept a formatted time string value. This was preventing the new data from applying to the fields. There is no notification of failure when it fails. Either store the datetime as epoch numeric or as a formatted string str value. The function works and is essentially repaired. | inputlookup kvstoreA
| eval
joinField=test_name+rule_name+test_target
| join type=inner [
search index=a sourcetype=b NOT variable="ignore"
| dedup testName testTargetDesc ruleName
| eval

Event_last_status=case(eventType=="A","healthy",eventType=="B","unhealthy",TRUE(),"undefined"),
Event_test_name='alert.testName',
Event_rule_name='alert.ruleName',
Event_test_target='alert.testTargetsDescription{}',

tl:dr - questions I am looking to get answers for: 1. Is there a better way to do this? 2. Is it possible to dynamically declare and store the _key values that I want to update? --------------------------------------------------- I have a KV Store that holds statefulness data from a program that runs over 300 different tests. The KV Store presently string fields with data that I filled from a previous query with the last_status field set as the string "stub" while I'm working on getting it functional. The field names in the kvstore are: last_time last_status test_name rule_name test_target and of course the hidden _key field. I'm trying to update the last_time and last_status when the conditions are suitable. The suitable condition is when the test, rule, and target fields match a subsearch with the same values in their respective fields. I'm having issues with getting the KV Store to update. I've seen the following approaches suggested already from the questions I could find and the kb type articles. | inputlookup csvcoll_lookup | search _key=544948df3ec32d7a4c1d9755 | eval CustName="Marge Simpson" | eval CustCity="Springfield" | outputlookup csvcoll_lookup append=True Which led me to finding a suggestion of | inputlookup csvcoll_lookup | where _key IN("544948df3ec32d7a4c1d9755","544948df3ec32d7a4c1d9756","544948df3ec32d7a4c1d9757") | eval CustName="Marge Simpson" | eval CustCity="Springfield" | outputlookup csvcoll_lookup append=True I have something similar to the following query (some vars and objects have have their names changed to some degree, but still represent the logic I'm trying to work with. | inputlookup kvstoreA
| eval
last_time=strftime(last_time,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"),
key=_key,
joinField=test_name+rule_name+test_target
| join type=inner [
search index=a sourcetype=b NOT variable="ignore"
| dedup testName testTargetDesc ruleName
| eval
Event_last_time=strftime(last_time,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"),
Event_last_status=case(eventType=="A","healthy",eventType=="B","unhealthy",TRUE(),"undefined"),
Event_test_name='alert.testName',
Event_rule_name='alert.ruleName',
Event_test_target='alert.testTargetsDescription{}',
joinField=Event_test_name+Event_rule_name+Event_test_target]
| where Event_last_time!=last_time
| eval
last_status=Event_last_status,
last_time=Event_last_time
| fields last_time last_status test_name rule_name test_target view_key
| outputlookup kvstoreA key_field=view_key append=True From what I have read and tested so far I am sure that I don't know how to extract the _key values in a dynamic way that can be applied to update specific entries in the table. 1. Is there a better way to do this? 2. Is it possible to dynamically declare and store the _key values that I want to update?

I had the thought this morning to use stream stats to govern this. Your intuition was right. I had to modify the code a bit to get it to work. Line 103 had an extra comma that derailed the rest.
I adapted the code from 109 on to give me this
| streamstats avg(eval(if(CFE_RespTime!=-1,CFE_RespTime,0))) as "Response Time" avg(eval(if(CFE_RespTime==-1,0,null))) as "Threshold Violations" time_window=6m
| table _time "Response Time" "Threshold Violations"
It appears to have borne some great fruit though at higher resolutions it doesn't graph the individual points. It looks like its the better of the two worlds for this application.
Thank you.

Splunk 7.2.3
I have been trying to use timechart to graph synthetic transaction application response times.
The calculated data contains two series: RespTime and Violations. Graphing both of these series together appears to force an either or type situation relating to the use of either gaps or connect logic for null values within the series. This might be compounded or by span/bucket logic. I've experimented with several other graph types.
Any ideas moving forward would be appreciated.
The _raw data is in the following format:
GUID|APPid|Synthetic Transaction Host|DateTime|RespTime
My initial approach was to create two series based on the RespTime being a -1 value (indicating a violation) then graphing them both.
| eval Violations=if(CFE_RespTime=-1,CFE_RespTime,"")
| eval RespTime=if(CFE_RespTime=-1,"",CFE_RespTime)
| timechart avg(RespTime) as "Response Time" avg(Violations) as "Threshold Violations"
The second attachment has span=6m but it otherwise the same as the previous logic.
Without an explicit span the attached graph shows the issue I am trying to discuss / solve.
The desire is for either the Response Time series to be entirely connected OR for there to be gaps only at the location of the violations while not having the violations series connect over entirely separate violation values. If there are consecutive values within the violation series then the violation series should connect also.
Choosing connect also connects the violation series while choosing gap creates numerous gaps in the response time series.
Changing the span doesn't alleviate the issue as gaps may randomly show up depending on the specific timing of the hosts generating the data.
In the data below, the -1 values are threshold violations, when they are consecutive they should connect but when they are not there should be gaps in the data.
