Adding fields in stats command

[smanojkumar]

Hi Splunkers!
   Good day!
   I would like to add event and detection fields in stats command, after adding in stats command, I'm not getting the expected results. I need that fields as well but I should get the expected results,

Old command 
| stats count as num by name country state scope 

Modified command
| stats count as num by name country state scope event description - giving me wrong results.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @smanojkumar,

after the BY cluse you should add only the fields to use for aggregation.

The other fields can be added to the stats command suing the values option.

So if you want to aggregate only for name and you want the other fields, you could use:

| stats 
   count AS num 
   values(country) AS country
   values(state) AS state
   values(scope) AS scope
   values(event) AS event
   values(description) AS description
   BY name 

As you can read at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SCS/current/SearchReference/StatsCommandOverview

Ciao.
