Average of a field

Hi,

I have a log trace like, ...........................wages: 50

I have written a splunk query to skip all the entries before "wages:" and print only the values like 50, 30, whatever.

sourcetype=mysource host=myhost* "myClassName" | rex field=_raw "(?<"ac">(?<=wages:).*?$)" | stats count by ac

Now, I'm not able to find the median/ average of the values in ac.
Eg: (50+50)/2

Can you please help me in obtaining this value.

Thanks

Did you check if you are getting any values in ac, just see what below gives you

sourcetype=mysource host=myhost* "myClassName" | rex field=_raw "(?<"ac">(?<=wages:).*?$)" | table ac

Yes, the query sourcetype=mysource host=myhost* "myClassName" | rex field=_raw "(?<"ac">(?<=wages:).*?$)" | table ac , returns me some values, like, 30, 50, etc.,

but when i give stats avg(ac), it doesn't return any result
