Count Issues

I'm trying to count all my data by each day of the week each time a host is hit.
EX: machine a has a script run once Monday, and Tuesday and three times on Wednesday. I just wanna track how many times a week it's hit per week. I know I can bucket _time but can't get the count function to properly display the info.

index=x sourcetype=x host=*
| bucket _time span=day
| count by host by day

Any help would be much appreciated

try use the stats command, understand the attributes and the by clause. and also work on your arguments of the bin / bucket commands
read here:

index=x sourcetype=x host=*
| bucket _time span=1day
| stats count by host _time

hope it helps
