I have lots of logs for client order id ( field_ name is clitag ), i have to find unique count of client order( field_ name is clitag ) received so far that day?

In principle I would use stats count or stats dc(fieldname) but I need more information about your data.
Can you post some events and give us an example of what you are trying to achieve?

I tried answering but realized it's all guesswork and probably wrong until we get a few events to look at.

It is possible it's something like

... my search earliest=@d | stats dc(client_ag)

But it's too hard to tell.

Could you provide a few events and describe the important pieces for us?

hi gpant,

try uses the function values() used to have these distinct values and dc () to get the number of distinct values.

for more informations, follow this link:
