Basic Search Syntax

Searches in Splunk are written in SPL (Search Processing Language). The start of your search determines what data you retrieve. Always start with an index, a sourcetype, or a host.

Keywords are case-insensitive, but field names, field values, and boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) are case-sensitive.

Use the wildcard (*) to match part of a word or value.

Example Search
index=web_logs status=200 action=purchase*
