How do you get a distinct count of one field based on the value of another?

[weidertc]

I need to count the total based on status, but also the number of sessions for each status. The number of sessions is the distinct count of the sessionId field.

| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=2345 
| append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
| append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
| append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
| append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="SUCCESS", sessionId=1234] 
| stats count AS Total, dc(case(match(status, "FAILURE"), sessionId)) as "TotalSessions" by status

this gives me

Status, Total, TotalSessions
FAILURE, 4, 0
SUCCESS, 1, 0

but it needs to be

Status, Total, TotalSessions
FAILURE, 4, 2
SUCCESS, 1, 1

What am i doing incorrectly?

Hi Chris,

Try this

 | makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=2345 
 | append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
 | append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
 | append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="FAILURE", sessionId=1234] 
 | append [| makeresults 1 | eval status="SUCCESS", sessionId=1234]
 | stats count AS Total, dc(sessionId) as "TotalSessions" by status

All the best
