How to group similar domain/URL patterns?

I would like to group URL fields and get a total count. 

When  I do this:

 

 

 

index=example source=example_example dest="*.amazonaws.com" OR dest="*.amazoncognito.com" OR dest="slack.com" OR dest="*.docker.io" | dedup dest | table dest | stats count by dest

 

 

 

the output is this:

dest count

352532535.abc.def.eu-xxxxx-1.amazonaws.com1
abc.auth.xx-aaaa-1.amazoncognito.com1
aaa1-stage-login-abcdef.auth.xx-abcd-1.amazoncognito.com1
346345452.abc.def.us-abcd-2.amazonaws.com1
autoscaling.xx-east-4.amazonaws.com1
slack.com1
registry-1.docker.io
1
auth.docker.io1

 

I wanted to group them by similar patterns like this:

gruopedURL count

.amazonaws.com3
.amazoncognito.com2
slack.com1
.docker.io
2

 

I've tried other possible queries based on some postings here, but no luck. It was mostly after the '.com'

Since you appear to already know what "common" parts of the urls you are interested in since they are part of our search filter, you could just count them

| stats count(eval(match(dest,"amazonaws\.com"))) as amazonaws.com count(eval(match(dest,"amazoncognito\.com"))) as amazoncognito.com count(eval(match(dest,"slack\.com"))) as slack.com count(eval(match(dest,"docker\.io"))) as docker.io

this worked. What if I add to search something like this 170.51.31.0/22

If you're searching for the literal string "170.51.31.0/22":

index=example source=example_example "170.51.31.0/22"
| stats count by <field_name>


If you're searching for ip addresses that falls into the CIDR range "170.51.31.0/22"

 

index=example source=example_example
| search cidrmatch("170.51.31.0/22", <dest_ip_field> )

You do way too many things in your search which actually slow it down.

Lose the dedup and lose the table. Just search and stat. That's for starters.

Secondly, use rex to extract the top part of the domain. Then do your stats

<base search>
| rex field=dest "(.*\.)?(?<base>[^.]+\.[^.]+)"
| stats count by base
