Hello Experts,

How to calculate the count of the events based on the value of a particular field

example:

                                                                     ....  | stats count by  URL

           URL                                                  COUNT

        JSON_DB_1/%231                                  100
         JSONPayingBank/%231                         80
        /RTDC/RTDC/RTDC/RTDC%231             50

the data has all combination of the url,like some have
1) JSON_DB_1/%231 and JSONPayingBank/%231
2) JSON_DB_1/%231 and /RTDC/RTDC/RTDC/RTDC%231

3) ALL three
the JSON_DB_1/%231 is common for all,but i want to count of urls with JSON_DB_1/%231 and JSONPayingBank/%231 and name it as Paying bank..

Try something like this

your base search | eval URL=mvfilter(NOT match(URL,"JSON_DB_1")) | stats count by URL

This will eliminate the common URL value JSON_DB_1/%231 and will give count of events for other two URL values.

I have tried your query and other possible match patterns but it throwing me the following error

Error in 'eval' command: The expression is malformed. Expected ).

This should've worked. Can you post the query you tried?

So you have field URL which is multivalued field for each event?

each event has a combination of these urls and JSON_DB_1/%231 is common in all events
