Hi,

I am working on a query to track when a device last sent events.


I want to list devices where the last log was received more than 5 hours ago.
I need a condition like this:
LAST(Event Receive Time) < Current Time - 5h

I’ve grouped results by:
LAST(Event Receive Time)
Reporting Device

If you are using ClickHouse as the Event Database, this is easily performed via a SQL Query.

Out the box there is a query named "Existing Devices not reporting today", and the modified query below should be good for 5 hours , assuming that the device has reported data in the last 7 days.

 

WITH reporting_devices_last5 AS (     SELECT DISTINCT reptDevName     FROM fsiem.events     WHERE phRecvTime >= (now() - INTERVAL 5 HOUR)       AND phEventCategory IN (0,4,6) ) SELECT     reptDevIpAddrV4,     reptDevName,     reptVendor,     reptModel,     max(phRecvTime) AS last_seen FROM fsiem.events WHERE phRecvTime >= (now() - INTERVAL 7 DAY)  -- still looking back 7 days for context   AND phRecvTime < (now() - INTERVAL 5 HOUR)  -- but excluding last 5 hours   AND phEventCategory IN (0,4,6)   AND reptDevName GLOBAL NOT IN (         SELECT reptDevName         FROM reporting_devices_last5   ) GROUP BY ALL ORDER BY reptDevName ASC SETTINGS transform_null_in = 1;

Thanks a lot for the detailed query!

I should have clarified earlier, I am on FortiSIEM 7.2 and using EventDB, not ClickHouse.
