Splunk Search

distinct count

Mike6960
Path Finder

I have events which contain batches. There are several batchtypes. For example Batch; A01,A02,A03.
When a batch is started it is stored for example like this: A01-sample-2019-03-20-mm. I want to count the number of batches per batchtype per moment (2019-03-20)

Now I have this: ....search...... | stats distinct_count(batch) as count by batch| table batch count
