How to get stats based on multiple values for a single source?

I have 3 sources source1, source2, source3 and 5 sourcetypes sourcetype1, sourcetype2, sourcetype3, sourcetype4, sourcetype5 for a single host host1.

Where sourcetype1 belongs exclusively to source1 and sourcetype2 to source2 but source3 has 3 sourcetypes; sourcetype3, sourcetype4 and sourcetype5.

Likewise, I have 2 sources source4, source5 and 3 sourcetypes sourcetype6, sourcetype7, sourcetype8 for another host host2. With source4 having sourcetype6 and source5 having sourcetype7 and sourcetype8.

I wish to have a stats count like this:

        ---------------------------------------
        host         source      sourcetype
        ---------------------------------------
        host1       source1     sourcetype1
        host1       source2     sourcetype2
        host1       source3     sourcetype3
        host1       source3     sourcetype4
        host1       source3     sourcetype5
        host2       source4     sourcetype6
        host2       source5     sourcetype7
        host2       source5     sourcetype8

Can someone please help?

maybe try this:

.... | stats values(sourcetype) as v_sourcetype by source host

It shouldn't be that simple but what's missing from

"your search"|stats count by host,source,sourcetype

What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂

It is that simple. Or, at least, that meets the request the OP wrote up.

try below if you want count:

...|stats count by sourcetype

and if you want all values as well then try:

...|stats values(*) as * count by sourcetype
