How to search for users that have clicked/visited a url, how many times, and display results in a table with two columns.

Column "A" would be the user, Column B the qty of hits to the url.

THANKS!

My answer assumes that the web server is Apache and that it uses a standard access.log to record information. It also assumes that the access.log is read into Splunk using the predefined sourcetype of access_combined:

index=wherever sourcetype=access_combined url=something
| stats count by clientip

Well, you aren't telling the community about the type of data that you are collecting from the web server, or what kind of web server it is. So there isn't really much help that the community can offer, without making huge assumptions.

How do you define "user"? In Apache, the user field is generally unimplemented, the best solution often must use clientip instead.

What is the sourcetype? What are the field names? These are the first things that you need to know before you write a search.
