Hi Guys,

I have a JSON file for OS type in some cluster like below:

{
"clusterA": ubuntu,
"clusterA": ubuntu,
"clusterA": rhel5,
"clusterA": sles11,
"clusterB": sles11,
"clusterB": sles11,
"clusterB": ubuntu,
"clusterC": centos,
"clusterC": ubuntu
...
}

I'd like sum the OS type for each cluster, like in above sample, 2 ubuntu in clusterA, 1 rhel5 in clusterA etc.
Would you please kindly help out?

Thank you!
