Hi

I´m trying to create a search that basically count the number of unique UserId generated over a certain time in the userlog, the UserId consist of 5 digits for example 12345 or 79365 etc.. need help to finalize it.

The search begins like this...
index=main sourcetype=userlog UserId="*" | ...?

Magnus
