Splunk Search

How to search for the exact URI with wildcards within the URI field?

Hi All,

I have following URI in my logs.

/svc/appName/1234567890/catalog/search/(status),
/svc/appName/1234567890/catalog/search/(info)
/svc/appName/1234567890/catalog/search/(update),
/svc/appName/1234567890/catalog/search/

where 1234567890 is user id. I would like to search for /svc/appName//catalog/search/.

I am using following to search
index=jboss sourcetype=jboss_tomcat_access_log /catalog/search/.

But it returns all of the above URIs.

How would I search for the exact URI for all the user ids?

Thank You!

You're searching for text that appears in all events so you will get all events in your results. To narrow the results, add qualifiers to your search. Is the URI in a field? If so, you can try

index=jboss sourcetype=jboss_tomcat_access_log /catalog/search/ | where like(URI,"%/catalog/search/" | ...

Otherwise, try

index=jboss sourcetype=jboss_tomcat_access_log /catalog/search/ NOT "/catalog/search/(*"

to exclude events that have parens near the end.
