5-Basic Searhcing (Search & reporting) provides default interfaces for searching
and analyzing data.

Data is desplayed in 3 ( host, source , sourcetype)

Imp - what is transforming commands- see below

three modes(Verbose mode -returns all fields)

Note-

Note-bollean operations evalued in below order(1,2 ,3) and () controls order of


evaluation.

imp - escapescing charactwers-use back slash to escape characters(2nd screen)

Que-

Events are always returned in chronological order.

Select your answer.false


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------6--Using Fields

Interesting fields-below

a (highlighted)in date month denotes a string value

# denotes a numeral value

You can all fields by below link at top(below screen)

You can run and refine more efficient search by using fields in them

Note- Filed name are case sensitive while field value are not

Use of filed operartors(below screen)

Nore- != and NOT will not always return same results

example- != retuen the events where status fields is not 200

NOT- retuen the all events that do not have status fields at all or status =200

Splunk also uses IN in paranthis to inclused

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------

Best practices -@ is used for round unit


-30m
-30h-hour
-30d- days
-30mon-months
-30y-year

suppose current time is 9:37 events from 9:00 to 9:30


Syntax to find betweween begining of the time and ending of the time

Splunk Search Language

boolean operators and command modifiers - orange color.(AND OR)


commands - in blue color(timechart)
commands arguments in green(space)
function in purple(Sum)

prenthisis () are highligheted in below query and can be used to trobleshoot what
is inside query

Hot key- for eg to break the line


Enter to new line- ctrl + \in window os
the other on on mac will move | to new line

search results (if we want to inclused the fields in search results - | fields
status clientip
Where is splunk command and status and clientip are interesting fields.

If we want to exclude the fileds for eg status and client ip then use - sign to
exclude fields.

Internal splunk fileds (like time and raw) will always be extraced but it can be
excluded from display result by the below commands.
Fields extractios is most importatnt part of effiecient search

Fiels inclusion happens before field extraction.

Filed exclusion happens after fileds extraction it only affects displayed results
but does not improves performance.

Table commands to similar to field command and retains data in tabular format.

Rename commands is used to rename field name -

Rename jSESSION ID with "USEr Session " - similaryly we can change other filed name

Once you rename the fileds you can not search them by their original name and we
need to search fileds using new fields in subsquent search.

Imp note- when we have to rename the field name , we ned to enclose the renamed
field with double quotes" else splunk will not take a renamed field.

dedup command- remove duplicate events from the results.

The sort command - is used to display results in ascending or descending order.

Impt point- Use of - sign in sorting

by default sotring is ascending order and can also be done by adding + sign (sort
+sale_price)

If we put - sign before sales+price field then it will sort with descending order

Very IMP point- space between i and filed value which impacts all fields and if we
remove the space then only filed behind "-" sign will be affacted.

Sort command can also be used with limit and will limit the results(below only
first 20 events will be displayed)
QUestions and answers

Pls note below question-

Pls note the below question

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
9 - Transforming Commands

Top commands

example- top 10 records by default

If you want all recors then limit by 0 and if you need some specific records then
limit = 20,5....

example if we dont want showperc then user showperc=False

Use of by cluase
for eg- show top 3 products solds by each vendor in last 7 days.

Rare command

The Stats command- to use the statistics -


common stats functions.

Count function-

Sum

We should use the same pipe for two stats else results will not be availavle
Avg,min,max values will work with only numeric values

Avg function-

Min and max vy category-

List all employees for a given field..

The value function works similar to list function except it requirns unique values
for a given field.

List all user which used different on specific months
