Putting It All Together (CIDR)
So, in this third Lookup implementation, we:
- Extracted fields using the
Parser
Function. - Configured the
Lookup
Function to use theCIDR
match mode. - Used the
Eval
Function to route each event to the correct SIEM index. - Used the
Drop
Function to filter out events without an associated team.
In conclusion, we used the CIDR
match mode to sort interleaved events into groups that make sense for our customer's business needs. We simultaneously provided them a return on their Cribl Stream investment, by helping them filter out events they don't need – reducing downstream licensing and infrastructure costs.
