index="idxweblog" source="/opt/apache2/logs/idxapi.nbcuni.com-access_log" | stats count by _time, response_time

now we want to count the results like this,

_time, (Sametime shouldnt repeat)
Max(response_time)
count - (should include all the events count)

Can you please help me to get this query.

Hello dhavamanis,

Is that what you're looking for?

index="idxweblog" source="/opt/apache2/logs/idxapi.nbcuni.com-access_log" | eventstats count AS total_events | stats count, values(total_events), max(response_time) by _time

Just for you reference, the command eventstats is similar to stats, but instead of create a table, it'll add the result to each event as an additional field and you can use it on the next pipe.

Also, you might want to add something like | bucket span=10m _time after your search to group things together

If that's not what you're after, pls post an table showing how the result should looks like.
