Hi @mnjmht18

Try any one of the following

| makeresults 
| eval log="date1 name : message one,date2 name : message two,date3 name : message one,date4 name : message one,date5 name : message three,date6 name : message three" 
| makemv delim="," log 
| mvexpand log 
| rex field=log "name :\s+(?P<log>[^:]+)$" 
| stats count by log

or

| makeresults 
| eval log="date1 name : message one,date2 name : message two,date3 name : message one,date4 name : message one,date5 name : message three,date6 name : message three" 
| makemv delim="," log 
| mvexpand log 
| eval log= mvindex(split(log,"name :"),-1) 
| stats count by log
