Counting number of hits in a range

Hi,
I'm trying to count the number of events where a value is over a certain amount as well as within a number of ranges.

Here is my search:

sourcetype=source | rex field=_raw "Java memory percentage: (?<java_mem_percent>.*), OS memory percentage: (?<os_mem_percent>.*)" | rex field=_raw "images was (?<launch_time>.*)" | stats count(eval(java_mem_percent>"90"))

Here is how the data is formatted:

Java memory percentage: 75, OS memory percentage: 64
Java memory percentage: 82, OS memory percentage: 75
Java memory percentage: 34, OS memory percentage: 32
Java memory percentage: 56, OS memory percentage: 79
Java memory percentage: 95, OS memory percentage: 67

Thanks!

I would say a where would filter out only the events when the memory percentage is above 90:

sourcetype=source | rex field=_raw "Java memory percentage: (?.*), OS memory percentage: (?.*)" | rex field=_raw "images was (?.*)" | where java_mem_percent > 90 | stats count

However what you might want is actually a rangemap:

Yes! Rangemap was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Your stats count(eval(...)) approach is the correct one, where is it failing?
