I am trying to find the top api url's that were consumed by our clients. Our uri in logs are of below format.

1. https://api.server.com/user/1                       (type 1)
2. https://api.server.com/user/2                       (type 1)
3. https://api.server.com/user/3/role/1        (type 2)
4 . https://api.server.com/user?name=test  (type 3)

Now i need result count for each uri like below.

/user/{id} - 2

/user/{id}/role{id}. - 1

/user   - 1  (or user {filter} for query params e.g. /user/{filter})

i have unlimited combinations of such path parameters for different resources. what is the best way to get the count of url hits.

Without the full log entry or an example of the fields already extracted, I will have to guess that the url is either enclosed in double quotes or there is a trailing space of some kind and that the ids are all a series of digits

| rex "(?P<uri>https:\/\/api\.server\.com\/[^\?\"\s]+)"
| rex field=uri mode=sed max_match=0 "s/\/[\d]+/\/\{id\}/"
| stats count by uri
