This is an example of looking for an logs that contain the string "password":

password

This is an example of looking for logs that contain the name jhenderson stored in a field called user:

user:jhenderson

Note: Sometimes a string needs to be surrounded with double quotes.

Example:

"sec555.com"

This is an example of looking for logs that contain a source port greater than 40000:

source_port:>40000

This is an example of looking for logs that contain a destination IP between 10.0.0.0 and 10.255.255.255:

destination_ip:[10.0.0.0 TO 10.255.255.255]

This is an example of looking for logs that have a field named tls:

exists:tls

This is an example of looking for logs that do not have a field named tls:

-exists:tls

This is an example of looking for logs that do not have a tag of pci:

-tags:pci

This is an example of looking for logs that are between a specific date:

@timestamp:[2017-05-01 TO 2017-05-28]

Search filters can be combined using (), AND, and OR

This is an example of looking for a network connection sourcing from 192.168.0.1 going to 8.8.8.8:

source_ip:192.168.0.1 AND destination_ip:8.8.8.8

This is an example of looking for a network connection coming from 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2:

source_ip:192.168.0.1 OR source_ip:192.168.0.2

This is an example of looking for a network connection coming from 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2 that is destined for 8.8.8.8:

(source_ip:192.168.0.1 OR source_ip:192.168.0.2) AND destination_ip:8.8.8.8

This is an example of looking for network connections coming from 192.168.0.1 that are not going to 8.8.8.8:

source_ip:192.168.0.1 AND -destination_ip:8.8.8.8

Note: Using AND is not required when using an exclusion filter

Here is the same example as above that still works:

source_ip:192.168.0.1 -destination_ip:8.8.8.8

This is an example of looking for network connections that are not going to a private IP address:

-destination_ip:[10.0.0.0 TO 10.255.255.255] -destination_ip:[192.168.0.0 TO 192.168.255.255]
