If the above displayed data is the result for my stats command [stats values(Values) as Values by Category], how can I use the search to check if the values for each category are incremental by 1 and output the values that have been missed.

 I want the result to look like this :

try below: 

| stats max(value) as max_value min(value) as min_value values(value) as values by Category
| eval all_numbers=mvrange(min_value,max_value+1)
| fields - max_value,min_value
| nomv values
| eval values=replace(values,"\s",",")
| mvexpand all_numbers
| eval is_found=if(match(values,all_numbers),1,0)
| search is_found=0
| stats values(all_numbers) as missing_values by Category

It's possible to find before applying stats. after applying stats may be possible but it's not easy.

can you also confirm, if those values are in sequential with timestamp?
