Splunk Search

Why is the description field not functioning when using eval?

Below is the search string I am using. Everything works like perfect except for the description field. The field remains blank when it should hold the description value. Is it because I am not using a CIDR match? I have tried a few variances of this with no luck. The csv file is populated from an hourly report. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try this instead:

... | eval description=case(cidrmatch("123.123.123.123/25", src), "This is our scanner, please ignore", cidrmatch("123.123.123.123/16", src), "This is a government scanner, please ignore")
