We have below log event rows - 

correlationKey=abc msg="create cache for 123"
correlationKey=abc "read cache for 123"
correlationKey=mno "create cache for 456"
correlationKey=mno "read cache for 456"
correlationKey=xyz "read cache for 123"

From the data, we may notice that correlationKey abc/mno have both create/read. But for correlationKey xyz, it does not have "create cache" log, but "read cache" only.

We need to find all correlationKey values w/o log entry "create cache for". (abc/mno do not qualify. Only xyz qualify.)

Appreciate your great help!

Hi @enpingtu,

You could try something like this: 

your_search
| eval qualify=case(searchmatch("create cache for"),"Create", searchmatch("read cache for"),"Read"
| stats dc(qualify) AS dc_qualify values(qualify) AS qualify BY correlationKey
| eval status=if(dc_qualify=2,"Qualify","Do not Qualify")
| table correlationKey status

Ciao.

Giuseppe
