SplunkSummit 2015 - A Quick Guide to Search OptimizationSplunk
This document provides an overview and tips for optimizing searches in Splunk. It discusses how to scope searches more narrowly through techniques like limiting the time range and including specific indexes, sourcetypes, and fields. This helps reduce the amount of data that needs to be scanned to find search results. The document also recommends using inclusionary search terms rather than exclusionary ones when possible to improve performance. Additional optimization strategies covered include using smarter search modes and defining fields on segmented boundaries.
Splunk conf2014 - Lesser Known Commands in Splunk Search Processing Language ...Splunk
From one of the most active contributors to Splunk Answers and the IRC channel, this session covers those less popular but still super powerful commands, such as "map", "xyseries", "contingency" and others. This session also showcases tricks such as "eval host_{host} = Value" to dynamically create fields based on other field values, and searches that show concurrency based on start/end times within an event (using gentimes).
The simplicity and variability of searches can be a blessing and a curse. How can you tell if searches are really efficient? Splunk has a job inspector, but what do all the options mean? Are you using the right commands for your goal? Is there a better way to do this? This session will review the internals of how a search is performed, use of job inspector, search log, review of where and when to use certain commands.
Splunk is a powerful platform that can harness your machine data and turn it into valuable information thereby enabling your business to make informed decisions, taking your organization from reactive to proactive. Just like any other platform, Splunk is only as powerful as the data it has access to, therefore in this session we will be conducting a walk thru of how to successfully on-board data, with samples of data ranging from simple to complex. We will also be taking a look at how to use common TA’s to bring valuable data into Splunk. This session is designed to give you a better understanding of how to onboard data into Splunk enabling you to unlock the power of your data.
Besides seeing the newest features in Splunk Enterprise and learning the best practices for data models and pivot, we will show you how to use a handful of search commands that will solve most search needs. Learn these well and become a ninja.

The world of business applications is changing. Monolithic applications are being broken up into smaller services. The inherent symmetry of CRUD operations has been bifurcated by the emergence of GraphQL and its discrete input and output types. Enterprise users are expecting their interfaces to have capabilities present in consumer apps they use in their personal lives. It is time for business application architectures to evolve. The properties of a reactive system (responsive, resilient, elastic and message driven) are aligned with what application developers strive to achieve in their work. Borrowing ideas from Event Sourcing and CQRS, we will go over in depth the design and implementation of an application that is helping power Netflix’s studio. We will discuss how each of the properties of a reactive system is a desired property in modern cloud-based architectures. GraphQL, tracking data provenance, and observability will all be discussed.

3. Me
• Integration Developer with Aplura, LLC
• Working with Splunk for ~8 years
• Written many Public Splunk Apps (on splunkbase.splunk.com)
• Current Member of the SplunkTrust
• Wrote the “Splunk Developer’s Guide” - introduction to Splunk App Development
• Active on #splunk on IRC, answers.splunk.com, and Slack
• Co-leader of Baltimore Usergroup
• My Handle is “alacercogitatus” or just “alacer”
4. You
• Splunk
• Admin
• User
• Architect
• Evangelist
• Sales Engineer
• Anybody
• Want to learn about new search commands
• Enjoy Piña Coladas, getting caught in the rain
(well maybe not)
• Intermediate experience with SPL (know how to
“stats”)
Goals
• Show/expose you to possibly new commands
• Won’t become “expert” on these commands
• Take actionable items back to your business to “try new
things”
6. Administrative
(generating)
Commands
• rest, makeresults, gentimes, metasearch,
metadata, untable
• Commands that do not pull full (raw) events or
are used to interact with Splunk
• Provide information about data or the Splunk
server(s)
• These are all “generating” commands
7. rest
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Rest
The rest command reads a Splunk REST API endpoint and returns the resource data
as a search result.1
• MUST be the first search command in a search block
• Is “time agnostic” - It only queries - so time is not a factor in execution
• Limits results to what the requesting user is allowed to access
8. rest
This endpoint pulls the currently logged in user’s authorization context.
With this information, you could restrict specific dashboards or searches by
role, even more granular than the pre-built permissions.
9. makeresults
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Makeresults
Generates the specified number of search results. If you do not specify any of the
optional arguments, this command runs on the local machine and generates one
result with only the _time field. 1
• New in 6.3
• Easy way to “spoof” data to experiment with evals, and other SPL commands
• Fast, lightweight
• Use it to restrict a search using it in a subsearch
10. gentimes
• Useful for generating time buckets not present due to lack of events within those time buckets
• Must be the first command of a search ( useful with map, or append)
• “Supporting Search” - no real use case for basic searching
Generates timestamp results starting with the exact time specified as start time. Each result describes
an adjacent, non-overlapping time range as indicated by the increment value. This terminates when
enough results are generated to pass the endtime value.1
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Gentimes
12. metasearch
Retrieves event metadata from indexes based on terms in the <logical-expression>.
Metadata fields include source, sourcetype, host, _time, index, and splunk_server. 1
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Metasearch
• Useful for determining what is located in the indexes, based on raw data
• Does NOT present raw data
• Can only search on raw data, no extracted fields
• Can be tabled based on the metadata present
• Respects the time picker and default searched indexes
14. metadata
The metadata command returns a list of source, sourcetypes, or hosts from a
specified index or distributed search peer.
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Metadata
• Useful for determining what is located in the indexes, based on metadata
• Does NOT present raw data
• Does respect the time picker, however snaps to the bucket times of the found event
15. union
• Two different time ranges on same or disparate datasets
• Can be transforming or non-transforming and will do an append or
multisearch depending on location of the datasets.
• Provides optimized inter-leaving of datasets based on output of the datasets
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Union
Merges the results from two or more datasets into one dataset. One of the datasets
can be a result set that is then piped into the union command and merged with a
second dataset.
17. Iterative
• map, foreach
• Iterative commands do looping with events or
with fields in the search pipeline.
• EXPENSIVE commands
18. map
• Uses “tokens” ($field$) to pass values into the search from the previous results
• Best with either: Very small input set And/Or very specific search.
• Can take a long amount of time.
• Map is a type of subsearch
• Is “time agnostic” - time is not necessarily linear, and can be based off of the passed
events, if they include time.
The map command is a looping operator that runs a search repeatedly for each
input event or result. You can run the map command on a saved search, a
current search, or a subsearch.1
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Map
19. map
It takes each of the results from the rest
search and searches the metadata in each
index. The results are returned as a table,
such as:
20. map
This can quickly show you where
there may be a sourcetype
misconfigured. Why would it be in two
different indexes (unless permissions
play a role)? The same can be done
for sources and hosts.
21. foreach
• Rapidly perform evaluations and other commands on a series of fields
• Can help calculate Z scores (statistical inference comparison)
• Reduces the number of evals required
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Foreach
Runs a templated streaming subsearch for each field in a wildcarded field list.1
Equivalent to ...
Can also use wildcards
foobar = This, foobaz = That è bar = This, baz = That
24. Statistics
• contingency, tstats, xyseries, streamstats,
eventstats, autoregress, untable
• These are commands that build tables, evaluate
sums, counts or other statistical values
25. untable
• Allows you to “undo” a table
• Generate a table using a field name as row values
• Great for doing additional evals and calculations after a transforming command
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Untable
Converts results from a tabular format to a format similar to stats output. This
command is the inverse of xyseries.
27. contingency
In statistics, contingency tables are used to record and analyze the relationship
between two or more (usually categorical) variables. 1
A contingency table is a table showing the distribution (count) of one variable in
rows and another in columns, and is used to study the association between the
two variables.
Contingency is best used where there is a single value of a variable per event.
• Web Analytics - Browsers with Versions
• Demographics - Ages with Locations or Genders
• Security - Usernames with Proxy Categories
• Great to compare categorical fields
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Contingency
29. xyseries
Converts results into a format suitable for graphing. 1
• Email Flow [ xyseries email_domain email_direction count ]
• One to Many relationships [ example Weather Icons ]
• Any data that has values INDEPENDENT of the field name
• host=myhost domain=splunk.com metric=kbps metric_value=100
• xyseries domain metric metric_value
• Works great for Categorical Field comparison
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Xyseries
Xyseries can help you build a chart with multiple data series.
33. tstats
• Can only be used on indexed fields. EXTRACTED FIELDS WILL NOT WORK
• Quick way to access metadata or accelerated data (from data models or saved searches)
• Respects the time picker and default searched indexes
Use the tstats command to perform statistical queries on indexed fields in tsidx
files. The indexed fields can be from normal index data, tscollect data, or
accelerated data models.1
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Tstats
35. mstats
• New in 7.0
• Can only be used on metric indexes
• Respects the time picker
Use the mstats command to analyze metrics. This command performs statistics
on the measurement, metric_name, and dimension fields in metric indexes.1
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Mstats
First, find all the metric names in the store
37. autoregress
• Allows advanced statistical calculations based on previous values
• Moving Averages of numerical fields
• Network bandwidth trending - kbps, latency, duration of connections
• Web Analytics Trending - number of visits, duration of visits, average download
size
• Malicious Traffic Trending - excessive connection failures
A Moving Average is a succession of averages calculated from
successive events (typically of constant size and overlapping) of a series
of values.
[1] https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Autoregress
Prepares your events for calculating the autoregression, or the moving average, by
copying one or more of the previous values for field into each event. 1
39. SPL
Hacks
(SPLacks)
• Eval function with a stats/timechart command
• Indirect Referencing
• These are not actual commands, but are more
along the lines of a hack
40. Inline
Timeline
Eval
• You
can
use
an
eval statement
in
a
timechart command
• There is a difference in significant
digits.
• Must rename the field.
41. Dynamic
Eval
(aka
Indirect
Reference)
• Not
a
search
command
• NOTE:
It’s
a
hack,
so
it
might
not
work
in
the
future.
• Works

43. CLI
Commands
• Commands that are run from the command line to
help extract data, pull configurations, etc.
44. CLI
Commands
• $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk reload monitor
– reloads monitor configuration, starts consuming data
– "add/edit/enable/disable monitor" changes since last reload
or Splunk restart
• Why?
– Adding a new app/datasource
– Don’t have to restart UF/HF for monitor configs (syslog comes
to mind)
45. CLI
Commands
• $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd pcregextest
– Useful for testing regular expressions for extractions
splunk cmd pcregextest mregex="[[ip:src_]] [[ip:dst_]]" ip="(?<ip>d+[[dotnum]]{3})" dotnum=".d+"
test_str="1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2"
Original Pattern: '[[ip:src_]] [[ip:dst_]]'
Expanded Pattern: '(?<src_ip>d+(?:.d+){3}) (?<dst_ip>d+(?:.d+){3})'
Regex compiled successfully. Capture group count = 2. Named capturing groups = 2.
SUCCESS - match against: '1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2'
