How to generate a flow diagram from sequence of splunk events?

friscos — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:22:40 GMT

Hi, Is there a way to generate a transaction flow diagram in Splunk?

Ex: Each transaction ID passes through 4 servers and I can view the sequence of log events in Splunk enterprise. I want to visualize these sequence of events. How do i achieve that?

Thanks

I've found https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3120/ to be an effective way of showing calls between different components - with the length of the bars being the time taken for the call to complete.

Get your data into a table of the following format:

| table startTime rowName category timeInMs

Then select the Timeline visualisation (once installed), and Format it with the option: 'use colour'.
