Hello! 

I have some events just like this

2023-06-20 17:25:35.878 INFO Trace:[::] [#kafka-producer-network-thread | producer-e200fa4e-5ab6-4094-9524-035f5b697a0c][KafkaSender]: KafkaSender.sendAsync(): Message acknowledged [ topic=lcs.payment-order-request.v1, key=null, value={"contractNr": "1111111", "cuid": "222222", "action": "Remove"}, partition=3, offset=1257052]

2023-06-20 17:28:35.878 INFO Trace:[::] [#kafka-producer-network-thread | producer-e200fa4e-5ab6-4094-9524-XXXX][KafkaSender]: KafkaSender.sendAsync(): Message acknowledged [ topic=lcs.payment-order-request.v1, key=null, value={"contractNr": "1111111", "cuid": "222222", "action": "Remove"}, partition=3, offset=1257052]

I have to calc uniq counts of events with action "Remove" and "Create"

I wrote search but  it calc all events :

index = "hcg_loxon_prod" sourcetype="loxon:lcs:app_financial" topic=lcs.payment-order-request.v1 #kafka-producer-network-thread | stats count AS Total count(eval(searchmatch("Create"))) AS Create count(eval(searchmatch("Remove"))) AS Remove

 

"contractNr": "1111111", "cuid": "222222", "action": "Remove" - that's like unique key

How i can calc all uniq events (contractNr, cuid, action) ?

Hi

If those are your _raw events on splunk, then you could try something like this

| makeresults
| eval _raw="2023-06-20 17:25:35.878 INFO Trace:[::] [#kafka-producer-network-thread | producer-e200fa4e-5ab6-4094-9524-035f5b697a0c][KafkaSender]: KafkaSender.sendAsync(): Message acknowledged [ topic=lcs.payment-order-request.v1, key=null, value={\"contractNr\": \"1111111\", \"cuid\": \"222222\", \"action\": \"Remove\"}, partition=3, offset=1257052]

| multikv noheader=t
``` above create sample events ```
| kv
| spath input=value
| stats count by contractNr action

Hi @alexeysharkov,

you have to use a regex like the following:

| rex "\"contractNr\":\s+\"(?<contractNr>\d+)\",\s+\"cuid\":\s+\"(?<cuid>\d+)\",\s+\"action\":\s+\"(?<action>[^\"]+)\""

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/mV6tU0/1

Ciao.
