I am trying to run the following tstats search:

| tstats summariesonly=true estdc(Malware_Attacks.dest) as "infected_hosts" where "Malware_Attacks.action=allowed" from datamodel="Malware"."Malware_Attacks" 
| where 'infected_hosts'>100 
| eval const_dedup_id="const_dedup_id"

but I get the error:

Error in 'TsidxStats': WHERE clause is not an exact query

Any help would be appreciated

Thx

it's "from where", as opposed to "where from"
Thus:
| tstats summariesonly=true estdc(Malware_Attacks.dest) as "infected_hosts" from datamodel="Malware"."Malware_Attacks" where "Malware_Attacks.action"=allowed

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
