Dear Splunkers,

I want to increment the fields value based on Some conditions as like below.

Limit       |    Change
10           |        0
10           |        0
10           |        0
20           |        1
20           |        1
05           |        2
05           |        2
15           |        3
15           |        3

Like above, I need to increment the value from previous value whenever there is a change in the Limit Column.

Thank You.

Try this

...| autoregress limit as limit_old | eval change=0 | autoregress change as change_old | eval change = if(limit=limit_old, change_old,change_old+1) | table limit change

I am using following code. Can you please help.

| sort localisation _time
| streamstats range(_time) as Duration window=2
| eval Duration1 = Duration/60
| eval limit = if(Duration1 < 1,1,2)
| autoregress limit as limit_old | eval change=0 | autoregress change as change_old | eval change = if(limit=limit_old, change_old,change_old+1) | table limit change
