Hi,

I have some sylog events, login failed and login success in particular. I can determine if the event is success or failed by a field (field1) which contain something like "success" or "failure". In the event I Have also a field mac_address(field2) which contain some MAC address. I need to count the number of mac address that exist in failure but nerver exist in success.

Can you help me???

 

Thanks in advance

Try something like this:

index=foo  sourcetype=bar 
| stats values(field1) as status by field2
| where mvcount(status)=1 and status="failure"

Hi somesoni2,

thank you so much for your answer, I think it's working. So the result is the list of mac address that never had a login success, right? And if I want a count of this result, what I need to add to the query?

Thank you so much
