Hello, I would like to display in my dashboard the sum of several counts. For example, today, my search returns the authentication errors for SSH : _result: "authentication failure" =\> count:3_ _result: "Authentication FailureS" =\> count:5_ _result: "authentication failed" =\> count:1_ I would like to display in my dashboard a line chart representing _"Authentication errors"_ which is the sum of counts above. For today, _"Authentication errors":9_ (9=3+5+1) How can I do that ? Is it possible ? Feel free to ask me more information if you wish, Thank you for your help, Florent ---

Hi Florent, that should be possible in several ways, depending on how your data is stored in ES. Are your 3 results stored in the same field? result: "authentication failure" =\> count:3 result: "Authentication FailureS" =\> count:5 result: "authentication failed" =\> count:1 As I suspect, you are french speaking, maybe we can arrange a private chat so that I can clearly understand what can be done. ---

"As I suspect, you are french speaking" > Oh shame ! Yes I am 🙂 !!! "Are your 3 results stored in the same field?" > No. There is one result tag for one syslog log. "maybe we can arrange a private chat so that I can clearly understand what can be done." > Yes Ok. How can we do that? Florent ! ---

I bring details below: I have different servers which have different error messages for SSH syslog logs. When I parse there logs and fill a _"result"_ field, I get different messages for the _"result"_ field : _result: "Failed password"_ _result: "authentication error"_ _result: "authentication failure"_ _result: "authentication failures"_ _etc._ **My goal is to display a line chart "SSH errors".** =\> So, I would like to sum the counts of these different error results in a common count. Is it possible ?? Florent ! ---

SOLUTION : Mon erreur était de sélectionner dans X-Axis : Aggregation/Terms:result La solution est donc de faire une recherche sur les terms de result que l'on veut aggréger, puis de visualiser sur X-Axis : Aggregation/date Histogram:@timestamp Merci à lfroment-datasweet - Lionel Froment !! ---
