Splunk Search

Way to exclude results from Values() based on # returned?

I'm trying to do a search to find IPs trying to login in using multiple usernames (using Duo).  I have it working very close to how I want the only issue is I need to filter out IP-user entries where there is only one username attempted.  Is there a way to do a simple where clause against the number of strings returned from values()?  I tried where values(username) > 1 but guess that would have been to simple.

 

index=duo 
| stats values(username) as user, count(username) as attempts by src_ip
| where attempts >1
| sort -attempts

You could use dc, i.e.

index=duo 
| stats dc(usernmame) as unique_users count(username) as attempts by src_ip
| where attempts >1 AND unique_users = 1
| sort -attempts

You could also use values(username) and count that, i.e.

index=duo 
| stats values(usernmame) as users count(username) as attempts by src_ip
| where attempts >1 AND mvcount(users) = 1
| sort -attempts

if you want to retain the username
