How to do a stats count by abc | where count > 2?

Hey there,

I have a field let's say "abc" with values as such : 1,3,5,7,5,3,2,1,5,7,8,5,1,1,2,2,3,2,1,1,2,3,2,3

here what I am trying to look here is first do a stats count by abc | where count > 2 

and then again do a stats dc(abc) by "some other field"

 

I have tried do to it but unable to get any results not sure if there is any other option to perform it.

thanks

In general, you'd use eventstats (perform statistics without transforming original events) to do this:

Your base search
| eventstats count by abc | where count > 2 
| stats dc(abc) as abcs by other_field

There could be better performing options (e.g. do stats by both fields and then do filter and another stats but it depends upon your data and requirement. If you can share some sample data and full search that you want to perform, we may give some suggestions.

Use eventstats instead of stats if you don't want to lose the original data.
