Hi All,

I have proper timestamp logs in Splunk. I am able to extract time for all the searches except one.

index =mtp | stats count by Activity user

when i need count for these two fields, i am getting the result but not Time.

Can someone please suggest.

The stats command discards all fields except those used in the command itself. In your example, only 'count', 'Activity', and 'user' will be available for use after stats. Depending on how you intend to use Time, try one of stats count, values(_time) as Time by Activity, user or stats count, latest(_time) as Time by Activity, user.
