You appear to be counting the "transactions" which begin with one string and end with one of two other strings. Depending on your data, can you just not count the occurrences of the first string? If necessary, make sure this count is not greater than the sum of the occurrences of the two other strings?

There can be different combinations . I just need the events that have this particular combination.

Hi @btcs2,

the startswith and endswith without a correlation key is the only condition where there isn't any other solution than transaction command.

if you have a unique correlation key, you could try to use stats, but without it isn't possible

What are you trying to accomplish without transaction? Is there a reason you do not want to use transaction?

Hi @btcs2,

this is the main reason because I try to avoid to use transaction comman all the times I can, but, as I said, if you haven't a key to correlate you events, transaction command is the only solution.

If possible, try to limit the maxtime for correlate events, this is the only workaround (when possible) to limit response time.

Ciao.
