Greetings,

I'm pretty new to Splunk. I have to create a search/alert and am having trouble with the syntax. This is what I'm trying to do:
index=myindex field1="AU" field2="L"
|stats count by field3 where count >5 OR count by field4 where count>2

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Maybe this:

index=myindex field1="AU" field2="L"
| fillnull value="N/A" field3 field4
|stats count BY field3 field4
| multireport
[ stats sum(count) AS f3count BY field3 | where f3count>5]
[ stats sum(count) AS f4count BY field4 | where f4count>2]

Hi @vwilson3,

Probably you are looking for something similar?

index=myindex field1="AU" field2="L"
|stats dc(field3) as field3,dc(field4) as field4 |where (field3>5 OR field4>2)

The stats command does not have a where clause and only has a single by clause.

What are you trying to accomplish with your sample query? Once you explain what results you want to get, we may be able to help you get them.

I am trying to find events that match field1 and field2, and match field3 if there are more than 5 or match field4 if there are more than 2.

Thanks for the info.
