hi @mockingj,

Try this:

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="_raw
Goat | alive
Goat | dead
Goat | alive
Rabit | alive
Rabit | dead" 
| multikv forceheader=1 
| rex "(?<Animal>\w+)\s\|\s(?<status>\w+)" 
| stats count(eval(status="alive")) as alive, count(eval(status="dead")) as dead by Animal 
| eval diff=alive-dead
