How to apply this filter condition to my search result?

Hi team,

I am new to Splunk. Please guide me how to apply a filter condition in which I need to extract only count =1.

Below is my search:

index="victindex" sourcetype="ContainerEvents" | rex field=_raw "^(?:[^\.\n]*\.){2}(?P\w+)" | search qceventtype=ContainerEvent | xmlkv |  stats count as "Count of Search Object" by _time | where count = 1

Above search is not giving me any result set, even though I have 27 events.

You are doing where by a field name ( count ) that does not exist. Try this:

index="victindex" sourcetype="ContainerEvents" | rex field=_raw "^(?:[^\.\n]*\.){2}(?P\w+)"
| search qceventtype=ContainerEvent | xmlkv
| stats count BY _time | where count = 1
| rename count AS "Count of Search Object"

Here the count is the count of events. So if you have 27 events, count does not equal to 1 and your where clause is excluding the results.

Can you provide a sample of the data?

Try

....  | stats count by _time | where count = 1 | rename count as "Count of Search Object"

Thank you sundar, It works...
can you tell me how difference it is filtering the aggregated group value such as "having max(salary) > 25000", how can I apply this in the search command

Hi JKAT54,

yes, the count I represented is total events. To the top of it I will be applying the count of specific column to eventually evaluate the total by its.
