Now, I want to count the top 10 by the error code which is "F0531", "F1004", "F1004" .......

How to do it?

Many thanks.

Extract the field from the raw event (either using props and transforms or using field extraction in UI)

Try below

your search |rex field=_raw "^[^\[\n]*\[(?P<ErrorCode>[^\]]+)"|top ErrorCode

Adjust the regex to make it accurate with your events.
