Hi,

I want to find out how many users have blue colors & how many of them have red color for all unique users?

[2011-09-30 18:14:58:768 GMT+00:00][237D3B5A5F197F81A405858E6A5AA0WD.http-8080-11][com.fff.filter] DEBUG redColor=true blueColor=false
[2011-09-30 18:14:58:768 GMT+00:00][137D3B5A5F196F81A405858E6A5AA01F.http-8080-11][com.xyz.wrapper] DEBUG redColor=false blueColor=true
[2011-09-30 18:14:58:768 GMT+00:00][337D3B5A5F198F81A405858E6A5AA0GW.http-8080-11][com.xyz.wrapper] DEBUG redColor=false blueColor=true

In above log, I've to get all distinct users & then for each user, I need to get their session id & them match it within the line that contains the DEBUG & check if redColor=true or not.

So, in above case, the output should be:

No of users with red color = 1 (Note: 237D3B5A5F198F81A405858E6A5AA09F does not match with anything, hence not counted even though its red flag is true)
No of users with blue color = 2

Is this possible within splunk?

Something like

... | stats count(eval(redColor=="true")) as redcount
            count(eval(blueColor=="true")) as bluecount
            first(userid) as userid by sessionid 
    | stats sum(redcount), sum(bluecount) by userid

would do it.
