Splunk Search

Combining Two Fields For Searching

Path Finder

So I'm trying to run a search in Splunk and have two fields combined to return one larger field. My basic search is:

(host="web01.inno-360.com" AND source="/var/log/apache2/basf_ssl_access.log" AND "/profile-services/talent") OR (host="zakta01.inno-360.com" AND basf-landscaping.inno-360.com AND "GET /search" AND query=*)

From that I'm interested in two fields: 1) 'query' 2) 'q'. I would like to combine these two fields to end with something like:

... | stats count by newField

From searching I have tried using eval like this:

... | eval newField= query." ".q | stats count by newField

However I've had absolutely no luck at all with this. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Your eval statement is fine. You need to fix the stats count. This should do it.

. | eval newField= query." ".q | stats count(newField)

Then you could do | stats count(newField) by newField
