Hi,
I was just wondering, is there a way to validate the name of the file that is being ingested into splunk?
So for example, if the file name is: "filename 20180124" I would have thought a regular expression could be used to validate that, but the question is, how do I use a query to display the file name into the console and then validate it?
Could someone shed some light on this?
Thanks
Is the filename in the source field (as usual)?
Then you could do something like:
...base search...
| eval validFileName=(if(match(source,"<validation regex>"),"Yes", "No"))
are you looking for a list of file names that are been index by Splunk?
Hey @mayurr98, not a list, but I've created dashboards per file. The Splunk picks up the file from the splunk server and ingests it. For that file that is being picked up, in that dashboard, I want to create a panel that basically checks to see if the file name conforms to the intended design
