I want to find number of 500 , 200 , 300 error present in the logs . I have already fields extracted for error_code
so I am doing something like this index="abc" |stats count(eval(error_code=502)) AS error_code which is working but how do I include in query for other error codes ?

Hi Navd,

There are a couple approaches here. If you like, you could do it defining each error code you care about, and then use stats to count across them. For example..

index=navd sourcetype=test (error_code=200 OR error_code=300 OR error_code=500) 
| stats count by error_code

You could also continue using the method you're currently using, though I think it's a bit verbose. For example..

index=navd sourcetype=test 
| stats count(eval(error_code=200)) as "200_Errors", count(eval(error_code=300)) as "300_Errors", count(eval(error_code=500)) as "500_Errors"

If you'd like all the different errors present, you could aggregate across them all by using this..

index=navd sourcetype=test 
| stats count by error_code
