Try this for a starter

Exception | rex ".*?(?<exception>(?:\w+\.)+\w*?Exception).*"
          | stats count by exception

ok thx. Can use the patterns as you've provided to search with the following. Is there a easier way to do this especially if I add another level?

Exception | rex "(?:^|\s)(?\w+.\w+.\w+.\w+Exception)(?:\s|$)" | search Exception | rex "(?:^|\s)(?\w+.\w+.\w+Exception)(?:\s|$)" |stats count by exception
