hi

sorry for this question but I have difficulties to understand why a by clause with 3 conditions retrieve less events than a clause with 2 events

Is the difference is on the field _time?

 

 

| stats count as PbPerf by _time toto tutu
| stats count as PbPerf by _time toto

 

 

 thanks

Hi,

fields in the by clause cannot be empty. If it is empty, it does not show up in the results.

Try using fillnull before running the stats command like this:

| fillnull tutu value="n/a"
