We have a set of data which populate host and ip

Eg.

Host                  IP                            count

ESDBAS         10.10.10.10              1

ASFDB             192.0.0.0                   1

Query:

index=a  sourcetype=b
| stats values(ip) as IP count by host

i need the result which any hostname that contain DB should come out on another field

eg:

Host                  IP                            count      Environment

ESDBAS         10.10.10.10              1                      DB

ASFDB             192.0.0.0                   1                      DB

Please assist me on this

Hi @Akmal57,

let me understand: you want also to count the occurrences of the word "DB" in the hostnames?

If this is your requirement, you have two solutions:

you could use the rex command before the stats, somehing like this:

index=a sourcetype=b
| rex field=host "(?<Environment>DB)"
| stats values(ip) AS IP values(Environment) AS Environment count BY host

or the eval command:

index=a sourcetype=b
| eval Environment=if(match(host,"DB"),"DB","")
| stats values(ip) AS IP values(Environment) AS Environment count BY host

Ciao.

Thank you very much for your assist.

What you understand is correct, both of your query works perfectly fine as expected.
