Using complex search queries
You can use wildcards and boolean expressions, and search specific parts of the log
messages collected on SSB.
NOTE:
When searching log messages, the capabilities of the search engine depend on the
delimiters used to index the particular logspace. By default, the indexer uses the
following delimiter characters to separate the message into words (tokens):
& : ~ ?
! [ ] = , ; ( ) ' "
. For details on how to configure the delimiters used for indexing,
"Creating logstores" in the Administration Guide
.
NOTE:
It is not possible to search for the whitespace (
) character in the MESSAGE part of
the log message, since it is a hard-coded delimiter character.
The following sections provide examples for different search queries:
