Hello everyone, I am trying to get the queue or event counts with status=“spooling” that happened after the very first error(status=“*error*”) occurred. How could I do this? Thank you in advance. 


this is for our company’s printer server.

So I have events with:

sourcetype=winprintmon host=bartender2020
type=PrintJob
printer="*"(gets all printer) ex: zebra1065
could have status of "printing"/"printing,error"/"spooling"


so what I wanted to do is if a printer has error(status="printing,error") at 6am, get the events of that printer that has status="spooling"(which is the queue) that occurred after 6am and count them. 

Desired result format:

printer name      |          Counts of spooling(queue)         |

Hope this explains better, been dealing with this for days 
Thank you so much in advance!
