Hi @dall 

Thanks. So what part of these log entries identifies the vm? Is it Originator@xxx, where xxx is different for each vm? What identifies the server? is it hostd:[yyy] where yyy is the server id? If so, you can extract these two from the logs and use stats to count them

| rex field=_raw "hostd\[(?<server>[^\]]*)\]\s\[Originator\@(?<vm>[^\s]*)"
| stats dc(vm) as vms by server
