I need to create calculated counter field which should reset after each Cart Rack block. In this example, needed result would be as follows:

_raw----------------------------->-CounterID

....Cart2 rack 1: NOREAD------>1

....Cart2 rack 1: E1------------>2

....

....Cart2 rack 1: E1308------>8

....

....

....Cart2 rack 2: NOREAD------>1

....Cart2 rack 2: A1------>2

....

....Cart2 rack 2: SSE1308------>8

....

....Cart1 rack 1: NOREAD------>1

....Cart1 rack 1: POE1------>2

....

....Cart1 rack 1: E130AWA------>8

....

(There would be 8 entries for each Cart Rack combination)

Thanks,

Sanjay

If the cart & rack combination are unique and the log is chronological then this could work:

 basesearch | rex "Cart(?<cart>\d)\srack\s(?<rack>\d)" | streamstats count by cart,rack

onyl search for events containing INFO in your basesearch
