Question on calculating statistics for a field with different values in one event

[prettysunshinez]

I have a difficulty in calculating statistics when different (multiple) values are present for a field in the same event.
My query now extract the error field (for which i have written the regular expression) and looks for the error and calculate count.
How to overcome this..
Please help!

Try this:

index = ...
| regular expression to catch error max_match=0
| stats count BY error
| lookup lookupfile_name error OUTPUT error_description comments
| search comments="medium"
| stats sum(count) AS count BY error_description

This is what it should do; what would you prefer that it do?

You need to output one comment for each errors so expand error values before running lookup.

Index =  | regular expression to catch error max_match=0 | mvexpand error | lookup lookupfile_name error outputs error_description comments | search comments="$comment$" | stats count by error_description

Thank You @manjunathmeti
It worked 🙂

I also have another question which is a kind of enhancement to the above query..

In the lookup under Comments column I only have 3 catergories (For say : High,Medium,Low)
And now based on the output of the above query (my initial question), if the error5 which is Low and when its count exceeds a certain limit (say 200) ,its Comment has to be changed as Medium.
I'm have no clue as to how to start with it..
Could you kindly help..
