Getting Data In

How do I group unstructured events based on errorcode that they contain in body?

I have some base splunk query which gives me list of events which has body mentioned below -

event 1.

{"Errors":{"Error":{"RequestId":"112314082","Source":"","ReasonCode":"MISSING_REQUIRED_INPUT","Description":"Missing Required Input","Recoverable":"false","Details":{"Detail":{"Name":"ErrorDetailCode","Value":"092000"}}}}}

event 2.

{"Errors":{"Error":{"RequestId":"112314082","Source":"","ReasonCode":"MISSING_REQUIRED_INPUT","Description":"Missing Required Input","Recoverable":"false","Details":{"Detail":{"Name":"ErrorDetailCode","Value":"092001"}}}}}

event 3.

{"Errors":{"Error":{"RequestId":"112314082","Source":"","ReasonCode":"MISSING_REQUIRED_INPUT","Description":"Missing Required Input","Recoverable":"false","Details":{"Detail":{"Name":"ErrorDetailCode","Value":"092000"}}}}}

event 4.
{"Errors":{"Error":{"RequestId":"112314082","Source":"","ReasonCode":"MISSING_REQUIRED_INPUT","Description":"Missing Required Input","Recoverable":"false","Details":{"Detail":{"Name":"ErrorDetailCode","Value":"092002"}}}}}

I need to group these events based on message body's ErrorDetailCode value.
e.g.
ErrorCode Count

092000 - 2
092001 - 1
092002 - 1

Can someone please help me or guide me to build as I am new to Splunk ?

Hi @dhirajnangar try:

...your serach|rex field=_raw "ErrorDetailCode.+Value\":\"(?P<errorCode>\d+)" |stats count by errorCode
