findkeywords

The findkeywords command is an internal, unsupported, experimental command. See About internal commands.

Description

Given some integer labeling of events into groups, finds searches to generate these groups.

Syntax

findkeywords labelfield=<field>

Required arguments

labelfield

Syntax: labelfield=<field>

Description: A field name.

Usage

Use the findkeywords command after the cluster command, or a similar command that groups events. The findkeyword command takes a set of results with a field (labelfield) that supplies a partition of the results into a set of groups. The command derives a search to generate each of these groups. This search can be saved as an event type.

Examples

Return logs for specific log_level values and group the results

Return all logs where the log_level is DEBUG, WARN, ERROR, FATAL and group the results by cluster count.

index=_internal source=*splunkd.log* log_level!=info | cluster showcount=t | findkeywords labelfield=cluster_count

The result is a statistics table:

The values of groupID are the values of cluster_count returned from the cluster command.
