I've tried a lot of methods, but i can't find a way to display events with specific values ACROSS logs... for example, i want something like the eval for splunk...so, i can make alerts when some circunstances occur, like an if condition...Anyone have done anything related?

Hi @w0rk3r,

It sounds like you want to create an alert (aka a Watch), but I am not very familiar with Splunk. Can you give some example logs and the conditions on what would suffice it to be triggered? That should help some of us get a better idea exactly what you're asking.

Thanks,  
Chris

Hey @pickypg,

I'm not using X-PACK, so not exactly a watch, neither splunk on this project... For example, an use case could be a simple detection of a known malicious tool like mimikatz...so i have the following:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b274e35388fcf1ad2d3c31fd4d3ed37b65787140.png)

I want to do a query and validate if there are these results together  
Something like: `module_loaded:"C:\Windows\System32\vaultcli.dll" AND module_loaded:"C:\Windows\System32\bcrypt.dll" AND module_loaded:"C:\Windows\System32\crypt32.dll" AND module_loaded:"C:\Windows\System32\wintrust.dll"`

The questions:  
1-) How can i do a query across these logs as a "MUST HAVE" (like on the query example) value, without use a OR (The OR will return results if there is one or one hundred of logs with one of the values)  
2-) OR there is a way to do that with OR?

Thank you
