My problem is that in my data source, when a user logs on there can be a single entry or multiple entries. I need to eliminate the duplicates for each time interval but allow for future events by that User ID. I have tried dedup and distinct count. Does anyone have any suggestions?
index=* prdwfcs*/88 WFCSUID=UserID | stats count dc(WFCSUID)
index=* prdwfcs*/88 WFCSUID=UserID | dedup WFCSUID

If the duplicates have same timestamp and other entries from that User Id are different, dedup of _time should do the job for you.

Yes, they have the same time stamp. I had not thought of it from that aspect. Thank you!

Does the multiple/duplicate login entries have same time stamp? Could you post some sample of duplicate entries?
