Comparison operators

Prev Next

Use comparison operators in Trellix Query Language (TQL) to filter field values.

Equal and colon operators — The equal operator (=) and the colon operator (:) perform exact matching. You can use either operator interchangeably when comparing a field to a literal value.

For example:

eventType=api
eventType:api

In addition to equals, the other supported operator values are:

  • >

  • <

  • =<

  • >=

Syntax rules

  • Spacing — You can use spaces around operators for readability.

  • Order of operations — Comparison operators have the tightest binding in TQL. They are evaluated before logical operators such as AND, OR, or NOT.
