Splunk Search

Group results by common value

Alright. My current query looks something like this:

sourcetype=email action=accept ip=127.0.0.1 | stats count(subject), dc(recipients) by ip, subject

And this produces output like the following:

ip subject count dc(recipients)

127.0.0.1 email1 10 10

127.0.0.1 email2 5 2

127.0.0.1 email3 1 1

How would I query this instead so I can group those results together by IP so I'd be looking at a format like this?

ip subject count dc(recipients)

127.0.0.1 email1 10 10

email2 5 2

email3 1 1

I haven't figured out a query yet that will let me group by IP while still getting a count for each subject value, and a distinct count for the number of recipients for each subject value.

Try this,

sourcetype=email action=accept ip=127.0.0.1 | stats count(subject) as count, dc(recipients) as recipients by ip, subject | stats list(subject) as subject , list(count) as count, list(recipients) as recipients by ip
