index=**** Name=GOKI|stats count by SK SO
This is the result that I get now.

SK                    SO         COUNT
d.e.f                 B3           2
a.b.c.1             A1            4
a.b.c.2             A2            6
a.b.c.3            A1             8

Expected Result:

d.e.f                 B3           2
a.b.c.*              A1          12
a.b.c.*              A2           6

How do I get the expected result?

Like this:

index=**** Name=GOKI
| rex field=SK mode=sed "s/^(\d\.\d\.\d\.)/\1.*/"
| stats count by SK SO

Make your SK values be what you want them to be before summing up. Depending on the actual rules for wildcarding it might look something like this: index=**** Name=GOKI | eval SK = replace(SK, "^(\w+\.\w+\.\w+\.).+", "\1.*") |stats count by SK SO
