Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "However, in addition to using the GUI, you can also specify time ranges directly in your search string using the earliest and latest time modifiers. When a time modifier is used in this way, it will automatically override any time range that might be set in the GUI time range picker."

A block of code is set as follows:

index=main sourcetype=access_combined | eval browser=useragent | replace *Firefox* with Firefox, *Chrome* with Chrome, *MSIE* with "Internet Explorer", *Version*Safari* with Safari, *Opera* with Opera in browser | top limit=5 useother=t browser
