How do calculate the difference between the count of the following searches.
Tried to use the eval, but does not return results.

Need to find RunningJobs=Query1 - (Query2+Query3)
or
RunningJobs=Action1 - (Action2 - count(jobid))

index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" ":start:] with user-retry state" | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action1>[^\d\]]*)" | search  Action1="@:start:"| stats count(Action1) 

| append [search index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" "@end***]Action updated in DB!" | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action2>[^\d\]]*)"| search  Action2="@end"| stats count(Action2)]

| append [search index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" "ENDED WorkflowKillXCommand"  | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action>[^\d\]]*)" | rex "JOB\[?(?<jobid>[\d-]+)-" |  stats count(jobid)]

How about this?

     index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" ":start:] with user-retry state" | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action1>[^\d\]]*)" | search  Action1="@:start:"| stats count(Action1) as Query1

 | append [search index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" "@end***]Action updated in DB!" | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action2>[^\d\]]*)"| search  Action2="@end"| stats count(Action2) as Query2]

 | append [search index=aap_prod sourcetype="HDP:PROD:OOZIE" "ENDED WorkflowKillXCommand"  | rex "TOKEN\[\] APP\[(?<JobName>[^\]]*)"  | rex "ACTION\[[^\@]*(?<Action>[^\d\]]*)" | rex "JOB\[?(?<jobid>[\d-]+)-" |  stats count(jobid) as Query3] | eval RunningJobs = Query1 - (Query2 + Query3)

I believe you want to use appendcols here instead of append, in order for last eval to work.

hi athorat,

that is a example:

 index=summary source="dailysearch" earliest=-7d@d latest=@d 
         | stats count as TotalA
         | appendcols 
             [search index=summary source="hourlysearch" earliest=@d latest=now
                   | stats count as TotalB]
         | eval Total=TotalA+TotalB
         | fields Total
