How to display table of total error status code and total success status code by host?

Hi,
I am a newbie in Splunk. I have to write a splunk query to get the status_code count for error(status range 300 and above) and success(status range 200-299) by host.

This is my current search(24 hrs) but unfortunately return 0 result except for host list displayed

index=xxxx  host=*  status=*
| stats count(status>=300) as "Error",
count(status<299) as "OK" by host

Expected result:

Host          |          Error          | OK

----------------------------------------

xxxx           |          23              |  1

To evaluate an expression in stats you must use the eval function within the aggregation function. 

index=xxxx  host=*  status=*
| stats sum(eval(status>=300)) as "Error", sum(eval(status<299)) as "OK" by host

I changed count to sum because the eval function always returns either 0 or 1 so count will only tell you how many evaluations were done.

maybe if you replace "sum" by "count"

Thanks for your reply! I've tried the command but it still didn't did the trick, list of hosts is there but the total error and total success are missing somewhere

Make sure there are no spaces in the sum clauses.  I've had them fail when I put a space before a "(".
