Abstract
Learn more about the Cortex Query Language replace()
function that performs a substring replacement.
Syntax
replace (<field>, "<old_substring>", "<new_string>")
Description
The replace()
function accepts a string field, and replaces all occurrences of a substring with a replacement string.
Examples
If '.exe' is present on the action_process_image_name
field value, replace that substring with an empty string. This example uses the if and lowercase functions, as well as the contains operator to perform the conditional check.
dataset = xdr_data | fields action_process_image_name as apin | filter apin != null | alter remove_exe_process = if(lowercase(apin) contains ".exe", replace(lowercase(apin),".exe",""), lowercase(apin)) | limit 10
