Stats showing count of 1 result vs NOT that result

I am super new to using the powerful eval command but cannot quite get my head around the syntax. Can someone help me?

I am trying to show stats to show how many useragents have the word bot somewhere in the field vs those that do not.

... | eval type=BOT if(useragent="*bot*")|eval type=NOT if(useragent!="*bot*")|stats count by type

Try:

    ... | eval type=if(match(useragent, ".*bot.*"), "BOT", "NOT")|stats count by type

Thanks for confirming. It should be fixed now, but if you're still unable to comment on other users' answers/comments, just let me know.

Hi @KindaWorking

Glad you got two awesome answers! Question though for you. What happened exactly when you tried to comment on their answers? Did you receive an error or did a message pop up saying something about not having enough karma or permissions? This might be a bug we thought was fixed already.

Try like this

your base search | eval type=if(like(useragent,"%bot%"),"BOT","NOT") | stats count by type
