Splunk Search

Best way to obtain event counts from a massive search

Specifically, I am attempting to gather a count of firewall denies per day over an entire month. Running that search takes quite a long time. I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to perform this search than just performing the search and waiting for the results.

sourcetype=cisco_asa eventtype=cisco_firewall eventtype=firewall_deny | count by dest_ip

Is there a way to run the search for a one day period and store the count in a csv and then pull from the csv? Or is there something else?

This sounds like the perfect task for either summary indexing or report acceleration, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
