I want to group events with similar pattern of error messages .  This is how the data looks like

Message|Count
Error replaying queued events: undefined                                                1
initConfig is missing!                                                                                           1
"Error loading https://www.example.com/123 timeTaken=1 ms"  1
"Error loading https://www.example.com/123 timeTaken=2 ms"  1

Expected Output
Message|Count
Error replaying queued events: undefined 1
initConfig is missing!                                            1
"Script Load Error"                                                2

This is the query i am using

 | eval Message.msg=case(like(Message.msg,"Error loading https://%"), "Script loading Error", 1=1, Message.msg) | stats count by Message.msg

Your existing Message.msg contains a quote before the Error, so you need to include that in the like statement

| eval Message.msg=case(like(Message.msg,"\"Error loading https://%"), "Script loading Error", 1=1, Message.msg) 
| stats count by Message.msg

 See the \" before the Error

Hope this helps

Thanks for looking into this. 

Tried it with the "\" and it dint work. 

I was trying different things , one thing I noticed is, if I change the field Message.msg in the like statement to a static string like "Error loading something" I get a single resultset. Do you think it has something to do ? 

This is the query I am using 

index="fe_logging" logType=ERROR userId=TrackStar | eval Message.msg=case(like(Message.msg,"\"Error loading%"), "Script loading Error") | stats count by Message.msg

When using field names in eval statements, that contain non standard characters, you need to surround your field name with single quotes

 

index="fe_logging" logType=ERROR userId=TrackStar 
| eval Message.msg=case(like('Message.msg',"\"Error loading%"), "Script loading Error")
| stats count by Message.msg

See the extra quotes surrounding 

 

'Message.msg'
