How to count equal sources

Hello,
I want to count the denials from the same source ip. How can I do this?
The Log looks like this:

May 28 07:22:30 aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa %ASA-4-106023: Deny icmp src MAN-TRANS-PIX:bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb dst MAN-PRIV-INFRA-DMZ1:dns1.man.internal (type 8, code 0) by access-group "MAN-TRANS-PIX_access_in" [0xe068225a, 0x0]

Thanks for help.

If you're looking for a specific source ip you can do this:

search for that source ip and denial events | stats count

If you're looking for a general count by source ip you can do this:

search for denial events | stats count by src_ip

Alternatively, this:

search for denial events | top src_ip

Other than that you may need to clarify your goal.

Now I've tried the search on another server with the same asa-logs. On this my search and counting works fine but on the production-server I get no results...

I am looking for a general count to get the sources which produces the most noise.
The count by src_ip producing no results. I think it's because the "MAN-TRANS-PIX:" in front of the IP. How can can I get these IP's out of this?

If you do not have that extraction, you are probably missing other usefull information. I suggest you install the free "Technology Add on for Cisco ASA" to all your indexers and search heads.

If you don't yet have the source ip extracted into a field you can do something like this to get you started quickly:

... | rex "MAN-TRANS-PIX:(?<src_ip>(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})" | ...
