Stats for group of devices

I want to create statistic per group of device rather than individual devices.
I tried eval, but it produced no result.

| eval GR=case (host=5087, GR2, host=7750, GR1, host=7751, GR1, host=7752, GR2)
| stats count by GR.



TIA, Leon

Gents.

Thank you very much.
Proper placement of camas and double quotes solved the issue

Thank you for recommendations. 
Gut an error:
Error in 'EvalCommand': The expression is malformed. Expected ).
Am I need double (()) around entire statement?

You do not need double parentheses.  Verify the parentheses and quotation marks match.  Share your exact query if you need an extra set of eyes to look at it.

Have you tried putting quotes around the group names?

| eval GR=case(host=5087, "GR2", host=7750, "GR1", host=7751, "GR1", host=7752, "GR2")
| stats count by GR

Hi @bigll,

use quotes in eval:

| eval GR=case(host="5087", "GR2", host="7750", "GR1", host="7751", "GR1", host="7752", "GR2")
| stats count by GR.

Ciao.
