Hi Group, I answered this question through the support queue but thought it would be useful for other fme'ers to know it.
There is in fact a group-by in the Counter, it is just well hidden. If you put an attribute in the Counter Name setting it will group by that attribute. So to group-by line_id set the Counter name to &line_id (the & is important to denote this is an attribute). Look in the log file and it will even give you a list showing how many of each value there were. Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
