Hi,

I need your help,

I have a search like this

index=test sourcetype=XY | stats count(Field1) AS f1 by action="Value1" Field2 | stats count(Field3) AS f3 by action="Value2" Field2  | eval sum=Field1+Field2 | eval pro1=Field1/sum*100 | eval pro2=Field3/sum*100 | table Field2 f1, pro1, f3, p2, sum

After running the search there is the Error:
Error in 'stats' command: The argument 'Field100=Value1' is invalid.

Has anyone an Idea how I can change the search that the search is running?

Thanks for your help

Also your multiple stats commands will not work, because the first stats command consumes all data that goes into it and only emits whatever fields it calculates.

Perhaps you want something like this?

index=test sourcetype=XY action="Value1" OR action="Value2" | stats count(eval(action=="Value1")) as Field1, count(eval(action=="Value2")) as Field2 | ...

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but by action="SomeValue" is not a valid by clause in stats. You can only list fields there.
