I am using the below query, but few events in the logs don't have service_name values. They only have operation_name. I need to include these events in the results with only the operation name. Please help me.

index=jms_logs sourcetype=perflogs | eval service_operation = service_name.".".operation_name | table service_operation | dedup service_operation | sort service_operation

thanks.

Try this

index=jms_logs sourcetype=perflogs | eval service_operation = coalesce(service_name.".","").operation_name | stats count by service_operation | table sort service_operation

The stats will automatically remove duplicates and sort.
