Queries to use lookup operations present some particularities that make them incompatible when used from the search window to Activeboards or vice versa. The use of symbols is different and the domain name is required in one of them.

Search window

Activeboards

Syntax:

select `lu/lookupName/lookupColumn`(field) as newColumnName

Query example:

from demo.ecommerce.data
select `lu/IP_list/StreetAddress`(clientIpAddress) as `IP street address`

Syntax:

select lu("domainName", "lookupName", "lookupColumn", field) as newColumnName

Query example:

query(from demo.ecommerce.data
select lu("demo", "IP_list", "StreetAddress", clientIpAddress) as `IP street address`)

Order operations are slightly adjusted in queries used from the search window to Activeboards or vice versa. On a general basis, both constructions work fine in both areas but each area has one of them as the default. This can create confusion because of the automatic transformations that are carried out in several processes when bringing queries from one place to the other. Here you have the preferred syntax for each of them, both to filter and create column:

Search window

Activeboards

Syntax:

Create column: select column operator "value"/column as columnName
Filter: where column operator "value"/column 

Query example:

from demo.ecommerce.data
where method = "POST"
select timeTaken >= bytesTransferred

Syntax:

Create column: select operator (column, "value"/column) as columnName
Filter: where operator(column, "value"/column)

Query example:

query(from demo.ecommerce.data
where eq(method, "POST")
select ge(timeTaken, bytesTransferred))

This operation will return the set of distinct values for the specified field when grouping events. This operation is not supported in the search window so you need to be careful when using queries from one area to the other. If you want to use it outside Activeboards you can do so with the query API.

Search window

Activeboards

Not supported

Syntax:

select collectdistinct(column) as columnName

Query Example:

query (from demo.ecommerce.data
group every 5m by method, statusCode
select collectdistinct(bytesTransferred) as distinctBytesTransferred)

This operation is not supported in the search window so you will not be able to bring queries from one are to the other. To use this operation outside Activeboards, you need to use the query API.

Search window

Activeboards

Not supported

Syntax:

Create column: select array(column) [valuePosition] as columnName
Filter: where column operator array(column) [valuePosition]

Query example:

query (from demo.ecommerce.data
group every 1h by method, statusCode
select collectdistinct(timeTaken) as DisTimeTaken
select array(DisTimeTaken) [1] as Array2Time
where statusCode >= array(DisTimeTaken) [1])

Subqueries are not supported in the search window yet so you need to be careful when using queries from one area to the other because you will not be able to reproduce subqueries. If you want to use subqueries out of Activeboards, your only option so far is to use the query API.

Search window

Activeboards

Not supported

Syntax:

Create column: select (from tag1.tag2.tag3.tag4) as columnName
Filter: where column in (from tag1.tag2.tag3.tag4) 

Query example:

query(from siem.logtrust.web.activity
select ((
from siem.logtrust.web.navigation
group every - by userEmail
select count()) as inner)
select inner[username] as nav
group by username, nav)

query (from demo.ecommerce.data
where statusCode in
(from demo.ecommerce.data
where statusCode = "404"
where now()- 5m < eventdate < now()
group every - by statusCode)
select method, statusCode, eventdate)
