Splunk Search

Comparing differences in the same field depending on the row grouping field

I'll try to explain it with a basic example. As an output of a stats command I have:

detectionquery
search1
google.com
yahoo.com
search2
google.com
bing.com

 

I want to get which queries are not being detected by both search1 and search 2. Or else, getting rid of the queries that are in both searches, either way work. Like ok, search1 is detecting yahoo.com whereas search2 isn't, and viceversa with bing.com

I thought about grouping by query instead of by search,  the problem is I have dozens or even hundreds of queries.

Any thoughts? Cheers

You could stats count by query. Queries that are found by both detections will have count=2, while queries that are found by only one will have count=1. Then you can filter for count=1 to remove the hundreds of queries that are found by both detections.

| stats count by query
| where count = 1
