DataFrame returns Value Error after adding auto index

This script needs to query the DC server for events. Since this is done live, each time the server is queried, it returns query results of varying lengths. The log file is long and messy, as most logs are. I need to filter only the event names and their codes and then create a DataFrame. Additionally, I need to add a third column that counts the number of times each event took place. I've done most of it but can't figure out how to fix the error I'm getting.
After doing all the filtering from Elasticsearch, I get two lists - action and code - which I have emulated here.
action_list = ['logged-out', 'logged-out', 'logged-out', 'Directory Service Access', 'Directory Service Access', 'Directory Service Access', 'logged-out', 'logged-out', 'Directory Service Access', 'created-process', 'created-process']
code_list = ['4634', '4634', '4634', '4662', '4662', '4662', '4634', '4634', '4662','4688']
I then created a list that contains only the codes that need to be filtered out.
event_code_list = ['4662', '4688']
My script is as follows:
import pandas as pd
from collections import Counter
#Create a dict that combines action and code
lists2dict = {}
lists2dict = dict(zip(action_list,code_list))
# print(lists2dict)
#Filter only wanted eventss
filtered_events = {k: v for k, v in lists2dict.items() if v in event_code_list}
# print(filtered_events)
index = 1 * pd.RangeIndex(start=1, stop=2) #add automatic index to DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(filtered_events,index=index)#Create DataFrame from filtered events
#Create Auto Index
count = Counter(df)
action_count = dict(Counter(count))
action_count_values = action_count.values()
# print(action_count_values)
#Convert Columns to Rows and Add Index
new_df = df.melt(var_name="Event",value_name="Code")
new_df['Count'] = action_count_values
print(new_df)
Up until this point, everything works as it should. The problem is what comes next. If there are no events, the script outputs an empty DataFrame. This works fine. However, if there are events, then we should see the events, the codes, and the number of times each event occurred. The problem is that it always outputs 1. How can I fix this? I'm sure it's something ridiculous that I'm missing.
#If no alerts, create empty DataFrame
if new_df.empty:
empty_df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['Event','Code','Count'])
empty_df['Event'] = ['-']
empty_df['Code'] = ['-']
empty_df['Count'] = ['-']
empty_df.to_html()
html = empty_df.to_html()
with open('alerts.html', 'w') as f:
f.write(html)
else: #else, output alerts + codes + count
new_df.to_html()
html = new_df.to_html()
with open('alerts.html', 'w') as f:
f.write(html)
Any help is appreciated.

It is because you are collecting the result as dictionary - the repeated records are ignored. You lost the record count here: lists2dict = dict(zip(action_list,code_list)).
You can do all these operations very easily on dataframe. Just construct a pandas dataframe from given lists, then filter by code, groupby, and aggregate as count:
df = pd.DataFrame({"Event": action_list, "Code": code_list})
df = df[df.Code.isin(event_code_list)] \
.groupby(["Event", "Code"]) \
.agg(Count = ("Code", len)) \
.reset_index()
print(df)
Output:
Event Code Count
0 Directory Service Access 4662 4
1 created-process 4688 2

Script keep showing "SettingCopyWithWarning'

Hello my problem is that my script keep showing below message
SettingWithCopyWarning:
A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame
See the caveats in the documentation: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/indexing.html#returning-a-view-versus-a-copy
downcast=downcast
I Searched the google for a while regarding this, and it seems like my code is somehow
assigning sliced dataframe to new variable, which is problematic.
The problem is ** I can't find where my code get problematic **
I tried copy function, or seperated the nested functions, but it is not working
I attached my code below.
def case_sorting(file_get, col_get, methods_get, operator_get, value_get):
ops = {">": gt, "<": lt}
col_get = str(col_get)
value_get = int(value_get)
if methods_get is "|x|":
new_file = file_get[ops[operator_get](file_get[col_get], value_get)]
else:
new_file = file_get[ops[operator_get](file_get[col_get], np.percentile(file_get[col_get], value_get))]
return new_file
Basically what i was about to do was to make flask api that gets excel file as an input, and returns the csv file with some filtering. So I defined some functions first.
def get_brandlist(df_input, brand_input):
if brand_input == "default":
final_list = (pd.unique(df_input["브랜드"])).tolist()
else:
final_list = brand_input.split("/")
if '브랜드' in final_list:
final_list.remove('브랜드')
final_list = [x for x in final_list if str(x) != 'nan']
return final_list
Then I defined the main function
def select_bestitem(df_data, brand_name, col_name, methods, operator, value):
# // 2-1 // to remove unnecessary rows and columns with na values
df_data = df_data.dropna(axis=0 & 1, how='all')
df_data.fillna(method='pad', inplace=True)
# // 2-2 // iterate over all rows to find which row contains brand value
default_number = 0
for row in df_data.itertuples():
if '브랜드' in row:
df_data.columns = df_data.iloc[default_number, :]
break
else:
default_number = default_number + 1
# // 2-3 // create the list contains all the target brand names
brand_list = get_brandlist(df_input=df_data, brand_input=brand_name)
# // 2-4 // subset the target brand into another dataframe
df_data_refined = df_data[df_data.iloc[:, 1].isin(brand_list)]
# // 2-5 // split the dataframe based on the "brand name", and apply the input condition
df_per_brand = {}
df_per_brand_modified = {}
for brand_each in brand_list:
df_per_brand[brand_each] = df_data_refined[df_data_refined['브랜드'] == brand_each]
file = df_per_brand[brand_each].copy()
df_per_brand_modified[brand_each] = case_sorting(file_get=file, col_get=col_name, methods_get=methods,
operator_get=operator, value_get=value)
# // 2-6 // merge all the remaining dataframe
df_merged = pd.DataFrame()
for brand_each in brand_list:
df_merged = df_merged.append(df_per_brand_modified[brand_each], ignore_index=True)
final_df = df_merged.to_csv(index=False, sep=',', encoding='utf-8')
return final_df
And I am gonna import this function in my app.py later
I am quite new to all the coding, therefore really really sorry if my code is quite hard to understand, but I just really wanted to get rid of this annoying warning message. Thanks for help in advance :)

Counting the repeated values in one column base on other column

Using Panda, I am dealing with the following CSV data type:
f,f,f,f,f,t,f,f,f,t,f,t,g,f,n,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,t,t,nowin
t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,g,f,b,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,n,won
t,f,f,f,t,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,g,f,b,f,f,t,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,n,won
f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,g,f,b,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,n,nowin
t,f,f,f,t,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,g,f,b,f,f,t,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,n,won
f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,g,f,b,f,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,t,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,t,f,n,win
For this part of the raw data, I was trying to return something like:
Column1_name -- t -- counts of nowin = 0
Column1_name -- t -- count of wins = 3
Column1_name -- f -- count of nowin = 2
Column1_name -- f -- count of win = 1
Based on this idea get dataframe row count based on conditions I was thinking in doing something like this:
print(df[df.target == 'won'].count())
However, this would return always the same number of "wons" based on the last column without taking into consideration if this column it's a "f" or a "t". In other others, I was hoping to use something from Panda dataframe work that would produce the idea of a "group by" from SQL, grouping based on, for example, the 1st and last column.
Should I keep pursing this idea of should I simply start using for loops?
If you need, the rest of my code:
import pandas as pd
url = "https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/chess/king-rook-vs-king-pawn/kr-vs-kp.data"
df = pd.read_csv(url,names=[
'bkblk','bknwy','bkon8','bkona','bkspr','bkxbq','bkxcr','bkxwp','blxwp','bxqsq','cntxt','dsopp','dwipd',
'hdchk','katri','mulch','qxmsq','r2ar8','reskd','reskr','rimmx','rkxwp','rxmsq','simpl','skach','skewr',
'skrxp','spcop','stlmt','thrsk','wkcti','wkna8','wknck','wkovl','wkpos','wtoeg','target'
])
features = ['bkblk','bknwy','bkon8','bkona','bkspr','bkxbq','bkxcr','bkxwp','blxwp','bxqsq','cntxt','dsopp','dwipd',
'hdchk','katri','mulch','qxmsq','r2ar8','reskd','reskr','rimmx','rkxwp','rxmsq','simpl','skach','skewr',
'skrxp','spcop','stlmt','thrsk','wkcti','wkna8','wknck','wkovl','wkpos','wtoeg','target']
# number of lines
#tot_of_records = np.size(my_data,0)
#tot_of_records = np.unique(my_data[:,1])
#for item in my_data:
# item[:,0]
num_of_won=0
num_of_nowin=0
for item in df.target:
if item == 'won':
num_of_won = num_of_won + 1
else:
num_of_nowin = num_of_nowin + 1
print(num_of_won)
print(num_of_nowin)
print(df[df.target == 'won'].count())
#print(df[:1])
#print(df.bkblk.to_string(index=False))
#print(df.target.unique())
#ini_entropy = (() + ())

This could work -
outdf = df.apply(lambda x: pd.crosstab(index=df.target,columns=x).to_dict())
Basically we are going in on each feature column and making a crosstab with target column
Hope this helps! :)

How to append data to a dataframe whithout overwriting?

I'm new to python but I need it for a personal project. And so I have this lump of code. The function is to create a table and update it as necessary. The problem is that the table keeps being overwritten and I don't know why. Also I'm struggling with correctly assigning the starting position of the new lines to append, and that's why total (ends up overwritten as well) and pos are there, but I haven't figured out how to correctly use them. Any tips?
import datetime
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
total ={}
entryTable = pd.read_csv("Entry_Table.csv")
newEntries = int(input("How many new entries?\n"))
for i in range(newEntries):
ID = input ("ID?\n")
VQ = int (input ("VQ?\n"))
timeStamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
entryTable.loc[i] = [timeStamp, ID, VQ]
entryTable.to_csv("Inventory_Table.csv")
total[i] = 1
pos = sum(total.values())
print(pos)
inventoryTable = pd.read_csv("Inventory_Table.csv", index_col = 0)

Your variable 'i' runs from index 0 to the number of 'newEntries'. When you add new data to row 'i' in your Pandas dataframe, you are overwriting existing data in that row. If you want to add new data, try 'n+i' where n is the initial number of entries. You can determine n with either
n = len(entryTable)
or
n = entryTable.shape[0]

Find an efficient way of searching in nested python lists

I am very new to this forum and am basically a Network Engineer learning Python to automate some tasks and make my work more efficient. Well, straight to the point. I have a big excel workbook of 4 sheets with around 50K rows in each sheet. After learning for couple of weeks and extensive search I was able to load the whole excel cell values in a nested list e.g.
list [sheet_index][row_index][column_index].
Now after getting the inputs, next part is manipulation of those data. My task is to find specific column value from each row and search in the entire workbook and if found, corresponding data from a different column should be written in line with the original searched object.
My method is like below:
Getting the cell values in a big list (as I mentioned earlier)
flatten that list in a different variable as a one dimensional list.
in a loop, get the specific value from a row (fixed column) and search in entire one-dimensional list, if found, write the corresponding value in a different excel file.
So far, this method is working fine with a extra long delay which was the motivation for drifting from Excel VBA program to Python. So, I am here to ask the experts if theres something very basic I am missing. Here is the code below:
import xlrd
import xlwt
from compiler.ast import flatten
datafile = 'Peering_DB.xls'
# Data Read Function Definition
def main(datafile):
wb = xlrd.open_workbook(datafile)
wwb = copy(wb)
data = [[[wb.sheet_by_index(i).cell_value(r, col)
for col in range(wb.sheet_by_index(i).ncols)]
for r in range(wb.sheet_by_index(i).nrows)]
for i in range(0,4)]
data1 = flatten(data)
k = 2
x = 0
while x < 4:
r = wb.sheet_by_index(x).nrows
A = data[x][k][1]
B = data[x][k][2]
counter = 4
loc = [loc for (loc , e ) in enumerate(data1) if e == A]
if len(loc) != 1:
for n in range(len(loc)):
if data1[loc[n] + 1] != B:
wwb.get_sheet(x).write(k,counter,data1[loc[n] + 1])
counter = counter + 1
else:
wwb.get_sheet(x).write(k,counter,"No Backup")
k = k + 1
if k == r - 1 and x < 3:
print 'Page number ', x , 'Completed'
x = x + 1
k = 2
elif k == r and x == 3:
print "Operation Completed Successfully"
break
wwb.save('Peering_output.xls')
main(datafile)
