#4 Splunk sub(Commands) [timechart, geostats, iplocation]

-
TIMECHART: Helps you to create a time series chart with respect to event statistics.

  • Example: index=_audit | timechart span=5m count by action useother=f
    • Above query will help to create a timechart with respect to an specific field(it this case its action) from the events.
    • If you will notice, there is something called span (length of time for which the statistics are considered). In this case each bar(or line chart) in bar graph will be of 5 mins.
    • Another things to notice is useother, this option specifies whether to merge all of the values which are not included in the results into a single new value called OTHER, accepted values t(true) or f(false).
    • Statistics, will help you to see a table consisting of all the statistics fetched based on your query.
    • Visualization, will help you to see the timechart.
    • Select Visualization, helps you to select your preferred visualization type.


GEOSTATS: Helps to create a cluster map based on your events.
  • Example: index=idx_audit | search r_host=* | iplocation r_host | geostats globallimit=0 count by Country
    • iplocation FIELD, it helps to extracts location information from IP addresses by using 3rd-party databases, supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
    • globallimit=0 means no grouping.

#3 Splunk sub(Commands) [eval, round, trim, stats, ceil, exact, floor, tostring]

ROUND: Eval with round takes one or two numeric arguments, returning 'first value' rounded to the amount of decimal places specified in 'second value'.  By default it will remove all the decimals. Example: index=idx_messages sourcetype=linux_logs | eval new_rt= trim ( replace (response_time, "ms.", "")) | stats avg (new_rt) as Average | eval Average= round (Average) Remove all the decimal values. Example: | eval Average= round (Average,3) Rounded the value up-to 3 decimal places. Example: | eval Average= ceil (Average) Round the value up-to the next highest integer. Example: | eval Average= exact (Average) Give the output with maximum possible number of decimal values. Example: | eval Average= floor (Average) Round the value down to the nearest whole integer. Apart from this, there are other functions as well which are used by eval command, for instance pi (), sqrt () etc. TOSTRING: Hel

#6 Splunk sub(Commands) [fields, rename, replace, table, transaction]

-
FIELDS:  This command helps to keep or remove specified fields from the search results, below command will keep just three fields in your search result. Example: | fields request, rc, pt RENAME:  This command helps to rename field(s), below command will rename a field named as service to serviceType and RC as responseCode Example: | rename service AS serviceType, RC AS responseCode REPLACE:  This command helps to replace the values of fields with another value, below command will replace the values "fetchReport" and "viewReport" as "Report" in "serviceType' field. Example: | replace fetchReport with Report, viewReport with Report in serviceType TABLE: This command helps to format the results into tabular output. Example: | table request, rc, pt TRANSACTION:  This command helps to merge events into a single event based upon a common identifier, below command will create events based on two events i.e. it will fetch the txn-id w

TRIM: Basically it helps you to create more meaning full data from existing data i.e. it helps you to remove noise from the results. Example: index=idx_messages sourcetype=linux_logs | eval new_rt= trim (replace( response_time , "ms.", "")) In above example, response_time is an existing field which consists of some unwanted data like "ms." which we don't want. So, by using eval and trim we can remove that unwanted data. If you will notice, above search will create a new field called new_rt which contains our intended results i.e. without "ms." CHART: It basically results your finished data in a table format, further that data can be used to visualize via different mechanism. Example: index=idx_messages sourcetype=linux_logs | chart count by date client useother=f Honestly the example is not so good but I believe, you are able to reach to the crux of it, i.e. it will show you which client on which date made how ma
