Splunk Search

Extract and count IDs from a table

wkk

Hi! 🙂 

I have a fallowing table:

SESSION_IDSUBMITTED_FROMSTAGE
1 submit
1startPagesomeStage1
2 submit
2page1someStage1
2page2someStage2


How could I count the number of SESSION_IDs that has SUBMITTED_FROM=startPage and STAGE=submit?

So looking at the above table the outcome of that logic should be SESSION_IDs

Hi @wkk,

you could try something like this:

index=your_index
| stats 
   values(SUBMITTED_FROM) AS SUBMITTED_FROM
   values(STAGE) AS STAGE
   BY SESSION_ID
| mvexpand SUBMITTED_FROM
| mvexpand STAGE
| search SUBMITTED_FROM=startPage STAGE=submit
| stats count BY SESSION_ID

Ciao.

I slightly changed the query, as I didn't want to use search. Query ends up with the same results.

index=your_index
| stats 
   values(SUBMITTED_FROM) AS SUBMITTED_FROM
   values(STAGE) AS STAGE
   BY SESSION_ID
| where SUBMITTED_FROM=startPage STAGE=submit
| stats count BY SESSION_ID
