Can't use "Where IN ([subsearch])"

[pleymort]

Hello,

I'd like to match the result of my main search with a list of values extracted from a CSV.
So at the end of my main search, I appended

| where src IN ([MySubSearch])

It did not work.
But, what is weird, is that the command below did work correctly.

| where src IN (copy/paste of the result of MySubSearch)

If it is helpful, my subsearch is

| inputlookup assets.csv | where category="Groupe_Postes" | eval dns="\"".dns."\""  | stats values(dns) as dns delim="," | nomv dns

And the results is a list of 200 hostnames in the following format :
"PFCC1845","PTADM2364", ....

Thank you in advance for your help
Cheers

Hello

I have similar situation where I have 2 sources of data and in data I get filenames processed but filenaming convention is different in both data sources.
So for that matter I get a pattern using eval and some string manipulations to match in both sources.

So I am trying hard to find filenames that are in source1 but not in source2.

So here I am trying to do:

index="clouddata" Application=CS Message.PublisherId="PROD_*ONGOING*"|
rename Message.FileName as cs_filename | dedup cs_filename |
eval ercode = mvindex(split(cs_filename,"_"),1) |
eval servicedatetime = mvindex(split(cs_filename,"_"),2) |
strcat ercode servicedatetime fileSearchStr |
eval fileSearch = substr(fileSearchStr,0,18) | table fileSearch | where NOT fileSearch IN [search index="serverdata" Application=SP |
rename Message.FileName as sp_filename | dedup sp_filename |
eval ercode = mvindex(split(sp_filename,"_"),0) |
eval datetime = mvindex(split(sp_filename,"_"),1) |
strcat ercode datetime fileSearchStr1 |
eval fileSearch="\"".fileSearch."\"" | stats values(fileSearch) as search delim="," | nomv search]

That field fileSearch would look like "10010JYR2011240547"
And when I run subsearch as a separate main query it gives me something like "10005ABC2020112405","10010JYR2011240547","100839TIN202011240","83101ICC2020112406"

Getting an error:
Error in 'where' command: The expression is malformed. Expected (.

Can I get some help on this?

Change your subsearch to this

 | inputlookup assets.csv | where category="Groupe_Postes" | eval dns="\"".dns."\""  | stats values(dns) as search delim="," | nomv search | format "" "" "" "" "" ""

Thank you for the answer.
When I try it thought, the result of the subsearch becomes :

"\"PFADM0185\",\"PFADM0276\",\"PFADM0290\", ....,\"PTCC0029\",\"ptadm0372\""

I got no error, but the "where" condition does not match.

What I understand though, is that addind "format" at the end of my query displays the way it is really formatting when used in a subsearch, right ?
So I'll try playing with it to have this result at the end (because I know the where condition match this way)

"PFCC1845","PTADM2364", ....

Give this alternative a try as well

Subsearch:

| inputlookup assets.csv | where category="Groupe_Postes" | stats count by dns | table dns | rename dns as src

Your search:

...| where [result from subsearch]

This time it works ! Thank you very much !
