Splunk Search

search counting

Hi,

I am attempting to create a search where I can search for a string and its ending variations and give a count for how many times each has occured.

Example

LH:1, bla bla
LH:12, yo yo
LH:1, wow wow

So in the search i should be able to search just "*LH:*" and it should return

`Search Count


LH:1 2
LH:12 1`

How should i do that? I have tried using the search command and stats but Im clueless right now.

Thanks for the help

That's not quite how this works. You can try this tho:

your_search "*LH:" | rex field=_raw "LH:(?<lh_number>\d+)" | stats count by lh_number

This will regex your LH and pull out the number, and then count by that number.
