How to achieve stats count on multiple fields?

Hi all - this one is hurting my brain. I need to pull two distinct numbers from my events: one with a total count of assets, and one with a total count of assets that contain a vulnerability.

What I think it should look like is not working:

 

 

| (stats dc(AssetNames) AS TotalExternalAssets, (dc(Asset_Names) AS TotalExposedAssets | where vulnerability!="missing"))

 

 

 

How do I get these two counts out of my events?

That command is not a valid Splunk command

What you probably want is

| stats dc(AssetNames) AS TotalExternalAssets
        dc(eval(if(vulnerability!="missing", AssetNames, null()))) AS TotalExposedAssets

I assume the AssetNames field is the same field (not Asset_Names in the second case)

This takes the count of unique assets (first dc()) and the second says 

  • If the vulnerability is not missing, then count AssetNames, otherwise count NULL (this counts as 0)
