Hello Support,

I need a query to get all the errors/exception which are occuring consecutively for more than 25 times in last 3 hours? Could you help?

Thanks

Something like this:

sourcetype=mylogs err* OR exception | stats count by host | where count>25

does it's true if there are some success events between error events.

Please show examples of the logs you're using - specifically show the log entries that hold the data upon which you need to search. Also, please clarify what you mean by "consecutively" in this context. Is this simply a count of > 25 times a particular error has happened within the last three hours? Is it a specific series of 25 events in a certain order?
