index=sdsf | search eventtype="*service*" or "*window*"  | stats count by eventtype

How is it not working? No results or wrong results?

index=sdsf | search eventtype="*service*" or eventtype="*window*"  | stats count by eventtype

HI @chuck_life09,

try to put the search conditions as in the main search as possible:

index=sdsf (eventtype="*service*" OR eventtype="*window*")  
| stats count by eventtype

Ciao.
