Sourcetype count per host

warmup031

Hello,

I would like to Check for each host, its sourcetype and count by Sourcetype.
I tried host=* | stats count by host, sourcetype

But in fact I need all the sourcetypes to be set as column, and get the count by host for each sourcetype. Can you help ?

Many thanks

Hi @warmup031,
did you tried?

index=your_index 
| stats count by sourcetype host

host=* isn't needed because all the events has the field host and use always the index in main search.

Ciao.
