Expected result

Service12101212345
Service2310212350

I am able to get the service name,count and ResponseTime using the below search. But i need RequestTime and TransactionId based on Max(ResponseTIme). I need the RequestTime and TransactionId of the record which has Max(ResponseTime). Do i really need sub search to get the desired results?

my rex | stats count,max(ResponseTime) by ServiceName

The search should be

my rex |sort 0 - ResponseTime |stats count,max(ResponseTime) ,first(RequestTime),first(TransactionId) by ServiceName

If your search returns more than 10,000 results then add | sort 0 field
sort command will truncate the output to 10000 rows.
results will be automatically limited to 10000 if you don't specify

| sort 0 field

Why do not you try to sort?

my rex |sort ServiceName,- ResponseTime |stats count,max(ResponseTime) ,first(RequestTime),first(TransactionId) by ServiceName
