Good Morning 

i have a field that i've called problem_detail in our Helpdesk index. it contains all the types of problems that are logged to us. i would like to only merge those that are associated with email queries together. there are about 15 different ones. 

index=mmuh_helpdesk sourcetype=mmuh_helpdesk_json
| dedup id
| fillnull value=NULL
| search "problemtype.detailDisplayName"!=*AGRESSO*
| eval problem_detail='problemtype.detailDisplayName'
| eval problem_detail=replace(problem_detail, "&#8226","")
| eval problem_detail=replace(problem_detail, ";","|")
| eval techGroupLevel = 'techGroupLevel.levelName'
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, " "," ")
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, " ","")
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, "Level"," Level")
| eval location_Name = 'location.locationName'
| eval status = 'statustype.statusTypeName'
| eval priority = 'prioritytype.priorityTypeName'
| eval techGroupId = 'techGroupLevel.id'
| eval tech_Name = 'clientTech.displayName'
| stats count by problem_detail

this spl is giving me the full list of 158 problem details and from there i can see around 15 of these relate to email. 

Is there away i can combine the totals from all the problem_details that contain 'email' together. 

i tried eval and then coalesce but it didnt work ..:( 

 

thank you

thank you - this hasn't worked .. I'm still getting all 158 problem details although now renamed as problem_classification 

but i think i understand that logic and will play around with it.

Try something like this

index=mmuh_helpdesk sourcetype=mmuh_helpdesk_json
| dedup id
| fillnull value=NULL
| search "problemtype.detailDisplayName"!=*AGRESSO*
| eval problem_detail='problemtype.detailDisplayName'
| eval problem_detail=replace(problem_detail, "&#8226","")
| eval problem_detail=replace(problem_detail, ";","|")
| eval techGroupLevel = 'techGroupLevel.levelName'
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, " "," ")
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, " ","")
| eval techGroupLevel = replace(techGroupLevel, "Level"," Level")
| eval location_Name = 'location.locationName'
| eval status = 'statustype.statusTypeName'
| eval priority = 'prioritytype.priorityTypeName'
| eval techGroupId = 'techGroupLevel.id'
| eval tech_Name = 'clientTech.displayName'
| eval problem_classification=if(match(problem_detail,".*email.*"), "email problem", problem_detail)
| stats count by problem_classification
