{"Username": A, "Condition":92, "Severity":32}  
{"Username": A, "Condition":89, "Severity":65}  
{"Username": B, "Condition":92, "Severity":60}  
{"Username": B, "Condition":21, "Severity":53}  
{"Username": B, "Condition":33, "Severity":65}  
{"Username": C, "Condition":94, "Severity":60}  
{"Username": C, "Condition":10, "Severity":65}

Above is a sample of my output. How can I get the count of the Usernames A & B? How can I get the count of only Username C?

Any help would be appreciated.

if you want to get the count of all usernames:

- create a table visualization
- as a metric choose `Count` (already chosen by default)
- in the bucket aggregation part select the Term aggregation (for splitting rows) and choose the username field

this will produce result like

```auto
 username | count
 A | 10
 B | 12
 C | 30

```

now if you want to show only user A, just click on `A` and it will filter only on that user  
you will see a filter added to the filter panel on the top, you can click that filter and EDIT it

in the edit mode you will see something like `username` `is` `A`  
you could change the `is` to `is one of` and enter `A`, `B` to the value field and you will get only the users A and B.

let me know if this helps.

regards, Peter
