Count events matching a specific string

newtosplunk14

From the logs, I need to get the count of events from the below msg field value which matches factType=COMMERCIAL and has filters. 

secondly,   extract the filter type used, like in the example below id and extract the string sorts={"sortOrders":[{"key":"id","order":"DESC"}]}. 

Using the Splunk query with basic wildcard does not work efficiently. Could you please assist

cf_space_name=prod msg="*/facts?factType=COMMERCIAL&sourceSystem=ADMIN&sourceOwner=ABC&filters=*"

Just extract the appropriate fields from the URI and split the parameters into a multivalued field.

| eval uri=urldecode(uri)
| rex field=uri "(?<reqpath>.*)\?(?<query>.*)"
| makemv delim="&" query
| search query="factType=COMMERCIAL"

 Then you can extract the "filters=something" value from the query field and process it apropriately (probably passing it through another urldecode()).

NOTE:  AS I FOUND SOME VALUES ARE DOUBLE ENCODED HENCE USED urldecode TWICE.

 Can you please try this?
