I have 2 queries:
|tstats values(sth.sth) as sth... |stats count by sth | ...
and
|tstats count from datamodel=sth ... | stats count by sth |...
both give me a different event count. Just want to know why that is the case.
count(X)
This function returns the number of occurrences of the field X.
values(X)
This function returns the list of all distinct values of the field X as a multi-value entry. The order of the values is lexicographical.
this is from stats command page.. this will be applicable for tstats as well, i think
