How to edit my search to aggregate the resulting counts by host type?

Hi there,

I want to know if this is possible:

I have a simple search:

index=myindex host=myhost* | stats count by host

which returns

myhost1->10
myhost2->20
myhost3->30
myhost-new1->100
myhost-new2->200
myhost-new3->300

Now, is it possible to aggregate the counts further by the host type? Which should return

old-hosts->60
new-hosts->600

Thanks!

Try this

index=myindex host=myhost* | eval age=if(match(host, "new"), "new-host", "old-host") | stats count by age
