Search

The search syntax is based on the "funnel" or the "pipeline" concept. The pipeline input receives all SumoLogic data, and data is filtered b entering keywords and operators, separated by pipes ("|"). Each operator acts on the results produced by previous operators, so data is being progressively filtered out. The typical search query syntax is similar to:

keyword search or string search | parse | where | group-by | sort | limit

All queries start with a keyword search or a string search.
