Count matching values on seperated fields

Hi there,
i try to buildup a firewall report:

"sourcetype="firewall" action=blocked | table host src dest src_port dest_port"

this gives me endless rows, and many of them are dublicated.
i try to delete all the dublicates and count them so that i have something like

HOST | SRC | DEST | SRC_PORT | DEST_PORT | COUNT

that would give a nice overview.

The simplest solution is to do a count by the fields you are interested in. It might still be very cluttered I guess, I assume SRC_PORT will vary a lot?

sourcetype="firewall" action=blocked | stats count by host src dest src_port dest_port
