Hi @debjit_k,

the first possible optimization is to move the search "Keywords="*Audit Success*) in the main search and leave only the search for country at the end of the search.

Then, if possible, try a different string to search because to have asterisk at the beginning of a string isn't efficient.

Then what's the sense of use IP and other fields in a stats command and then dedup by IP, in this way you have a longer search and you loose (or not use) some information,

Then you could put iplocation command after the stats command.

so you could use a different stats:

index=sdp_siem_win (host=AZPLTADFS1 OR host=AZPLTADFS1) keywords="*Audit Success*)
| rex "first regex"
| rex "second regex"
| stats values(Username) AS Username values(Keyword) AS Keyword values(EventCode) AS EventCode count BY IP
| iplocation IP 
| search NOT [inputlookup SDP_Country.csv | dedup Country | fields Country]
| table IP Country Username keyword EventCode count

Next time, please, don't share your search using a screenshot but put it as text in a Code Sample window.

Ciao.
