stats for json data

Hello Experts,

 

search..
|search "json attribute"
|stats sum(latest("_attributes.xxx.total")) by servername
|append [search ...
|search "json attribute"
|stats sum(latest("_attributes.yyy.total")) by servername]

 

The above search returns rows in the following format:-
servername --- sum(latest("_attributes.xxx.total")) --  sum(latest("_attributes.yyy.total"))

But i want them to be displayed as follows:--
servername --- sum(latest("_attributes.Both_xxx_yyy.total")) 

Thank you.

You have two separate searches with their results appended so it should be no surprise that the display contains separate values.

Have you tried adding the two results together?

search..
|search "json attribute"
|stats sum(latest("_attributes.xxx.total")) as Total_xxx by servername
|append [search ...
|search "json attribute"
|stats sum(latest("_attributes.yyy.total")) as Total_yyy by servername]
|eval Total_xxx_yyy=Total_xxx + Total_yyy
|table servername Total_xxx_yyy

Thank you Mr.Rich.

This is my requirement.

base search..
|search "_attributes.xxx.total"
|stats dc(servername) by _attributes.xxx.total

base search..
|search "_attributes.yyy.total"
|stats dc(servername) by _attributes.yyy.total

From these two searches i want a cobination like the below with a wild card.
But it wouldn't work this way.Please suggest how to achieve it.
base search..
|search "_attributes.*.total"
|stats dc(servername) by _attributes.*.total

It is not clear what your requirement is. What does |stats dc(servername) by _attributes.*.total mean? Distinct count of servername where _attributes.xxx.total and _attributes.yyy.total are combined into a single count, or do you want separate distinct counts for _attributes.xxx.total and _attributes.yyy.total?

For separate counts

base search..
|search "_attributes.xxx.total"
|stats dc(servername) as servers by _attributes.xxx.total
|rename _attributes.xxx.total as total
|append [
base search..
|search "_attributes.yyy.total"
|stats dc(servername) as servers by _attributes.yyy.total
|rename _attributes.yyy.total as total
]
|table total servers

 For total counts (although this will double count servers where xxx.total = yyy.total

base search..
|search "_attributes.xxx.total"
|stats dc(servername) as servers by _attributes.xxx.total
|rename _attributes.xxx.total as total
|append [
base search..
|search "_attributes.yyy.total"
|stats dc(servername) as servers by _attributes.yyy.total
|rename _attributes.yyy.total as total
]
|table sum(total) as total servers

For counts without double counting

base search..
|search "_attributes.xxx.total" OR "_attributes.yyy.total"
|eval total=if(isnull('_attributes.xxx.total'),'_attributes.yyy.total',mvappend('_attributes.xxx.total','_attributes.yyy.total'))
|mvexpand total
|stats dc(servername) as servers by total
