Search Field Concatenation

Search field concatentation allows you to search using the concatenation of fields. This is useful for

  • Creating on-the-fly unique ids without reediting a type
  • Create new fields based off discovered fields.

The concatenation syntax has the following format

| fieldA.count(fieldB+fieldC, )

Here's an example search that counts the number of download services across multiple websites.

| service+site.count() service.equal(download-svc)

The next example tells us the number of unique clients accessing different web services. A clientIp that accesses the same service A but on different sites

| clientIp.countUnique(service+site)
recieves a different count in this example. The new syntax is useful since it avoids reediting a datatype to achieve the same effect.
