Search query in Sumologic - Contains

Question

I'm a bit lost with a search query in Sumologic. I need to get logs where _sourceHost contains production

In case of SQL it looked like this

WHERE app="my-app" AND _sourceHost LIKE "%production%"

Does somebody knows if it's possible in Sumologic?

Answer 1

try this:

| where _sourceHost matches "*production*"

Answer 2

You can add wildcards to your string for _sourcehost= I don't know if app= is a part of your string or if it's an indexed value. If it's just part of the log string, it would look like this:

"app=\"my-app\"" AND _sourceHost=*production*

Otherwise it might be

app=my-app AND _sourceHost=*production*

One step further, you can use the wildcards in the middle of strings too, e.g.,

prod*box would match prod553box or prod999box or prodfoobox
