Splunk Search

Eval with multiple values

I have three event types:

eventtype="windows_login_failed"
eventtype="duo_login_failed"
eventtype="sremote_login_failed"

I am trying to run a search in which I rename the event types to a common name:

Windows = eventtype="windows_login_failed"
DUO = eventtype="duo_login_failed"
Sremote = eventtype="sremote_login_failed"

I run the following search, but I keep getting an error message stating, 'Error in 'eval' command: The expression is malformed. Expected ).'

eventtype="windows_login_failed" OR eventtype="duo_login_failed" OR eventtype="sremote_login_failed" [| inputlookup xxx_xxx ] OR [| inputlookup yyy_yyy] | eval Source = (eventtype == windows_login_failed, "Windows"), (eventtype == sremote_login_failed, "SRemote"), (eventtype == duo_login_failed, "DUO") | stats count by myuser,Source| sort -count

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thx

you'll need to make a case statement. try this

...| eval Source = case(eventtype == "windows_login_failed", "Windows", eventtype == "sremote_login_failed", "SRemote", eventtype == "duo_login_failed", "DUO")| ...

Why you don't use a tag (e.g. Login_failed) assigned to th Three eventypes?

Please check this one -
eval Source=case(eventtype==windows_login_failed, "Windows", eventtype==sremote_login_failed, "SRemote", eventtype==duo_login_failed, "DUO")

eventtype="windows_login_failed" OR eventtype="duo_login_failed" OR eventtype="sremote_login_failed" [| inputlookup xxx_xxx ] OR [| inputlookup yyy_yyy] | eval Source=case(eventtype==windows_login_failed, "Windows", eventtype==sremote_login_failed, "SRemote", eventtype==duo_login_failed, "DUO") | stats count by myuser,Source| sort -count
