Hello, 

My first post!!!

I have a bunch of results that show up when searched. One of the example is 

Aug 5 19:08:12 ServerName Aug 5, 2020 19:08:12 GMT|50000|APP|UNKNOWN|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|443|XXXXX|-|/someprocess.php|-|A message posted successfully|500 

Aug 5 19:08:10 ServerName Aug 5, 2020 19:08:10 GMT|50000|APP|UNKNOWN|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|443|XXXXX|-|/newprocess.php|-|A message posted successfully|200

I want to do a stats count by the .php processes. So, how do i add these or eval/stats these .php processes / scripts ?

The events look like very much structured and values are delimited with pipe symbol.

you can use IFX(Interactive Field Extraction) to extract them very nicely.

If this helps, give a like below.

And adding more Splunk features here, you could do this with props.conf and transforms.conf on search heads on search time ,-)

All these suggestions  will work, it's your chose to select which own is best for your current needs.

Welcome!

To do stats on the field you first need to extract it.  The rex command does that.

index=foo
| rex "\/(?<file>\w+\.\w+)"
| stats count by file

It looks like the script name is the 11th field assuming "|" is the delimiter so something like this might work

... base search ...
| eval logmessage=_raw
| makemv delim="|" logmessage
| eval script=mvindex(logmessage,10)
| stats count by script

Indexes start at zero so index 10 for the 11th field
