Considering you are only checking the issue_type and summary fields and you know the values you are looking for (i.e. words like Bug, Reopened etc.), you can do it this way -

<your search> | eval details=issue_type.summary | rex max_match=0 field=details "(?<word>(?i)(Bug|Reopened|Closed))" | stats count by word

Thanks Dinesh. It works fine . Modified the query a bit as i did not want it on issue_type field.Just summary would do it.

sure .

my table:

key issue_type summary
SPJ-171 Bug Reopened n for aaam
SPJ-18 Bug Reopened_m for AAAM
SPJ-19 Bug Bug 2
SPJ-19 Bug Reopened x for aaam

expected (eg):

word count
Reopned 3
Bug 5 etc.

The words are from the summary field. Hope I am clear 🙂
