How to display only one row with duplicated columns

Hello,

I am trying to build Splunk Dashboard with my logs in splunk. The rows are like below.

 

[row 1]

{

 "id" : 123,
 "name" : "A",
 "sub_id" : 444,
 "count" : 25 

}

 

[row 2]

{

 "id" : 123,
 "name" : "A",
 "sub_id" : 445,
 "count" : 25 

}

 

As you can see, some of my results have the column with id value is same but sub_id is different.

I need to sum(count) only once if "id" is different, but the results came out as duplicated(not exactly twice, some results have same id with 3 or 4rows, So dividing by 2 is not a good solution.)

 

I want to build timechart with above data and made SPL like below.

host=[HOST] index=[INDEX] sourcetype=[SOURCETYPE] source=[SOURCE] | bucket span=1d _time | chart limit=0 sum(vm.count) as VM by _time

 

So, How could I sum count data if the id is same? Thank you,

So using the first vm.count for each vm.id in each bucket would give you the counts you need to sum?

host=[HOST] index=[INDEX] sourcetype=[SOURCETYPE] source=[SOURCE] 
| bucket span=1d _time 
| stats first(vm.count) as vm.count by _time vm.id
| chart limit=0 sum(vm.count) as VM by _time

When id is the same, are name and count also the same, only sub_id is different?

Yes, you're correct. I want to sum count only once by ID(But not grouping), and create timechart.
