I'm trying to run a query to find the matching text in a message field and I'm trying to gather the results from the response to analyse the number of such events happening.

```
query = {
      "query": {
        "match": { "message": "Job failed abruptly. Need to rerun the job as soon as possible" }
      }
    }

```

How to find the the number of such failed events happened based search query? Any suggestions?
