Splunk Stream search syntax
The table summarizes Stream source
and sourcetype
search syntax.
Stream 6.1.0 or later | Example | |
Syntax | source=stream:<stream-id> sourcetype=stream:<protocol> | |
Search for a specific <stream-id> | source=stream:<stream-id> | source=stream:http, source=stream:tcp |
Search for all <protocol> streams | sourcetype=stream:<protocol> | sourcetype=stream:http, sourcetype=stream:tcp |
Note: The name that Stream assigns to an individual <stream-id> is the same as the underlying protocol.
How NetFlow timestamp data is processed
When any of the following fields are in a your NetFlow data, the Stream forwarder for the event sets the Splunk timestamp
field to the value contained in the NetFlow flowStart*
field and the Splunk endtime
field value to be the value contained in the NetFlow flowEnd*
field.
flowStartSeconds
flowEndSeconds
flowStartMilliseconds
flowEndMilliseconds
flowStartMicroseconds
flowEndMicroseconds
flowStartNanoseconds
flowEndNanoseconds
For NetFlow records that are not flow related, when observationTime*
fields are available, Stream forwarder sets the Splunk timestamp
and endtime
fields to the NetFlow observationTime*
.
If both flowStart*
and observationTime*
fields are in your NetFlow data, then Stream forwarder sets the Splunk Search timestamp
to be the NetFlow flowStart*
and the Splunk Search endtime
field to contain the NetFlow observationTime*
value.
If none of the above fields are present, and a NetFlow record has any of the following fields:
- "first switch"(flowStartSysUpTime),
- "last switch"(flowEndSysUpTime),
- "system uptime"
- "current device time in unix epoch"
then Stream forwarder calculates the Splunk Search timestamp
and endtime
as follows:
timestamp
= ("device time in unix epoch" - "system uptime") + "first switched"(flowStartSysUpTime)endtime
= ("device time in unix epoch" - "system uptime") + "last switched"(flowEndSysUpTime)
