Hi @Gauresh96,

you can extract the field with a regex

https://www.learnsplunk.com/splunk-regex-tutorial.html

or you can use an extraction at search time with the rex comand

Hi @Gauresh96 

sorry for the late reply.

I analyzed the tutorial data and purchase is not a field but is a action field value, about your request I suggest to try this search:

 

 sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie action=purchase | stats count by productId
sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie action=purchase | lookup prices productId | stats count(product_name) as products by productId
