Group Different Sources in One Query

Hello,

 

I'm running Splunk 8.1.2 and I'm trying to group different sources of an Index to count them within one query.

The following fields are what I'm trying to group:
index: license_compliance

fields:
- prod 

- dev

- other (anything that does not end in prod or dev)

 

 

index=license_compliance OR source="/license_compliance-splunk-data/iCinga_ingest/*"
| rex field=source "\/license_compliance-splunk-data\/iCinga_ingest\/(?<log_source>\w)" 
| eval log_source="iCinga_ingest".log_source 
| stats dc(source)
| dedup source, name
| timechart span=1d count(name) by source

 

 

 The data looks like this currently:

"/license_compliance-splunk-data/iCinga_ingest/iCingaDev_2021-07-07.csv"

I would like to get something like this:

 

 

07/07:
iCinga_Prod: 5
iCinga_Dev: 0
iCinga_Other: 2

 

 

Thanks in advance!

The dedup command is redundant when stats is used and timechart often (but not always) is redundant to stats.  Have you tried just timechart?

 

index=license_compliance OR source="/license_compliance-splunk-data/iCinga_ingest/*"
| rex field=source "\/license_compliance-splunk-data\/iCinga_ingest\/(?<log_source>\w)" 
| eval log_source="iCinga_ingest".log_source 
| timechart span=1d count(name) by log_source

This unfortunately did not work for me. The code works the same with or without the "rex" command in this case.

My assumption is that the data format (the example I posted was "/license_compliance-splunk-data/iCinga_ingest/iCingaDev_2021-07-07.csv") is not being read and grouped (because it's automated for once every 24hr) by the current query.
