Hi @sbampa,

Is there any seperate field for ERROR in the documents? If yes, you can createa Data Table visualization and aggregate the logs based on the Terms in the error field. Else you need to extract it from the log line using painless scripting, create a new field and create aggregation based on that.

Hi @sbampa,

You can go through [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-examples.html) link. It contains a few examples on painless scripting. Hope this helps.
