Splunk Search

Splunk query returns statistics but no events

Hi,

New to Splunk so I must be missing something obvious. I looked through previous questions and the docs but didn't see anything about this problem.

I have a Splunk query which is correctly returning the statistic I am expecting but has Events(0) even when Verbose Mode is enabled. 

index=* // search redacted 
|rex "(?P<json>{.+})" 
|table json 
|spath input=json
|stats sum(Response.Selected)

When I execute this query from Splunk Search (Web UI) I am getting the correct sum under the "Statistics" tab but the "Events" tab is (0). 

Any help would be much appreciated.

hi, @doffner,

stats is a transforming command which means the command "transforms" the specified cell values for each event into numerical values for statistical purposes. Raw events are not available once you run stats. But if you still need events you can use eventstats command.
