Hi,

I want to search the index with the eventtype which has "service" or "window" in the value

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

this is not working. can you help if the OR will work or not.

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.
