Query/Search Issues

Post by dlimanow »

Hello,
I have 10 servers sending their syslog and auditd information to a centralized Nagios Log Server. I'd like to find the documents that contain "type=EXECVE". However, if I do that (and there are PLENTY of documents with that string plastered all over, nothing shows up after performing that query. I can do "type" or "type=", but then only "type" is highlighted, making the search useless for me.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Daniel

Give this query a try:

Code: Select all

type:EXECVE

This does not work. However, I have just been using "EXECVE" and that has been working for me. But why can I not query more than one word? For example, "this = myQuery" only results in the word "this" being highlighted...

Thanks for your help.

Can you possibly show us a screenshot of one of the logs, expanded out. I want to see what fields it is generating.
