Splunk Log Analysis Samples

# Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) Examples

## 1. Basic Search Queries
```splunk
# Search for error logs in application logs
index=application_logs sourcetype=app_error level=ERROR

# Filter by time range
index=web_access earliest=-1h latest=now

# Search for specific HTTP status codes
index=nginx_access status_code>=500

# Wildcard search
index=security "failed login*"
```

## 2. Field Extraction and Transformation
```splunk
# Extract fields from log messages
index=application_logs "Processing request"
| rex "Processing request (?<request_id>[w-]+) for user (?<user_id>d+)"

# Use eval to create new fields
index=web_access
| eval response_time_ms = round(response_time * 1000, 2)
| eval request_size_mb = round(request_bytes / 1024 / 1024, 2)

# Parse JSON logs
index=api_logs sourcetype=json
| spath input=_raw output=request
| fields request.method, request.endpoint, request.status

# Conditional field creation
index=database_logs
| eval severity=case(log_level="ERROR", "High", log_level="WARN", "Medium", log_level="INFO", "Low")
```

## 3. Statistical Analysis and Aggregation
```splunk
# Count events by category
index=application_logs
| stats count by level, component

# Average response time by endpoint
index=api_logs
| stats avg(response_time) as avg_response_time by endpoint
| sort -avg_response_time

# Percentile calculation
index=web_access
| stats p50(response_time) as p50, p95(response_time) as p95, p99(response_time) as p99 by uri

# Time-based aggregation
index=security_events
| bucket _time span=1h
| stats count as events by _time, event_type
| rename _time as time_bucket
```

## 4. Transaction Analysis
```splunk
# Create transactions for web sessions
index=web_access user_id=*
| transaction user_id maxpause=5m
| stats count as session_count, avg(duration) as avg_session_duration by user_id

# Track user journey
index=user_events user_id=12345
| sort _time
| streamstats count as event_num
| eval step = "Step " . event_num
| table _time, event_type, step, details

# Monitor API call chains
index=api_logs correlation_id=*
| transaction correlation_id
| stats values(endpoint) as api_calls by correlation_id
| where mvcount(api_calls) > 3
```

## 5. Alert and Anomaly Detection
```splunk
# Error rate monitoring
index=application_logs level=ERROR
| bucket _time span=5m
| stats count as errors by _time
| streamstats avg(errors) as avg_errors, stdev(errors) as stdev_errors
| eval threshold = avg_errors + (2 * stdev_errors)
| where errors > threshold
| table _time, errors, threshold

# Detect unusual login patterns
index=security_events event_type=login
| bucket _time span=1h
| stats count as logins by _time, user_id
| eventstats avg(logins) as avg_logins
| where logins > (avg_logins * 3)
| eval anomaly_type = "Unusual login activity"

# Performance degradation detection
index=api_logs response_time>0
| bucket _time span=10m
| stats avg(response_time) as avg_response_time by _time, endpoint
| streamstats avg(avg_response_time) as historical_avg by endpoint
| where avg_response_time > (historical_avg * 1.5)
```

## 6. Security Monitoring Queries
```splunk
# Failed login attempts
index=security_events event_type=login_failed
| stats count by user_id, source_ip
| where count > 10
| rename count as failed_attempts
| eval risk_score = min(count * 10, 100)

# Suspicious IP activity
index=security_events
| stats values(event_type) as activities, dc(user_id) as unique_users by source_ip
| where mvcount(activities) > 5 AND unique_users > 20
| eval risk_level = "High"

# Data access monitoring
index=data_access action=read
| stats count, values(file_name) as accessed_files by user_id
| where count > 1000
| eval concern_level = "Potential data exfiltration"

# Privilege escalation detection
index=audit_logs action=privilege_change
| bucket _time span=1h
| stats count as privilege_changes by _time, user_id
| where count > 5
| eval alert_type = "Privilege escalation"
```

## 7. Performance and Capacity Planning
```splunk
# CPU utilization trends
index=metrics host=web*
| timechart avg(cpu_percent) as CPU_Usage by host

# Memory usage analysis
index=metrics
| stats avg(memory_used) as used_memory, avg(memory_total) as total_memory by host
| eval memory_utilization = round((used_memory / total_memory) * 100, 2)
| where memory_utilization > 80
| table host, memory_utilization

# Disk space forecasting
index=metrics
| timechart avg(disk_usage_gb) as disk_used by host
| predict disk_used as prediction future_timespan=7d algorithm=llp
| table _time, disk_used, prediction

# Database connection pool monitoring
index=database_metrics
| timechart avg(active_connections), avg(max_connections) by database_server
| eval connection_utilization = (avg(active_connections) / avg(max_connections)) * 100
```

## 8. Business Intelligence and KPI
```splunk
# User registration metrics
index=user_events event_type=registration
| bucket _time span=1d
| stats count as registrations by _time
| trendline sma5(registrations) as registrations_trend
| timechart count(registrations) as daily_registrations, registrations_trend

# Conversion funnel analysis
index=user_events event_type IN (view_product, add_to_cart, purchase)
| stats count by event_type, user_id
| stats dc(user_id) as unique_users by event_type
| eventstats values(unique_users) as total_users
| eval conversion_rate = round((unique_users / total_users) * 100, 2)

# Revenue analysis
index=transactions status=completed
| bucket _time span=1h
| stats sum(amount) as revenue by _time, payment_method
| timechart sum(revenue) by payment_method

# Customer engagement score
index=user_events
| stats dc(event_id) as interactions, sum(event_value) as engagement_score by user_id
| eval engagement_level = case(engagement_score > 1000, "High", engagement_score > 500, "Medium", "Low")
| stats count by engagement_level
```

## 9. Advanced Lookup and Joins
```splunk
# Join with external lookup file
index=security_events event_type=login
| lookup user_accounts.csv user_id OUTPUT username, department
| stats count by department
| rename count as login_count

# Self-join for session analysis
index=user_events user_id=*
| stats earliest(_time) as first_event, latest(_time) as last_event, count as event_count by user_id
| eval session_duration = last_event - first_event
| where event_count > 50

# Correlate logs from different sources
index=web_access status_code=500
| join type=inner transaction_id [search index=application_logs level=ERROR]
| table _time, transaction_id, status_code, error_message
```

## 10. Machine Learning and Anomaly Detection
```splunk
| inputlookup training_data.csv
| fit StandardScaler amount, age into amount_scaled, age_scaled
| apply amount_scaled, age_scaled as "feature_1", "feature_2"
| fit IsolationForest feature_1, feature_2 into anomaly_model
| apply anomaly_model as anomaly_score

# Time series anomaly detection
index=metrics cpu_percent
| timechart span=1h avg(cpu_percent) as cpu
| fit DensityFunction cpu into cpu_density
| apply cpu_density as density_score
| where density_score < 0.1
| eval anomaly_type = "CPU utilization anomaly"

# Predictive analytics
index=server_metrics
| timechart span=1h avg(memory_usage) as memory, avg(cpu_usage) as cpu
| predict memory as predicted_memory algorithm=LLP future_timespan=4h
| predict cpu as predicted_cpu algorithm=LLP future_timespan=4h
