How to get Start and End time from failed condition

bernanda — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 09:14:37 GMT

Hi Splunk,

We have data like this: ( how to get the result like on the table StartError EndError and SumCall ?) I have tried with command ' eventstats first(datetime) as StartError last(datetime) as EndError by status_code' but the result is not like we expected.

Thank you

Try adding this to your search and test

"Your search" | eventstats first(eval(if(status_code!="200 OK",datetime,null()))) as StartError ,last(eval(if(status_code!="200 OK",datetime,null()))) as EndError,count(eval(status_code!="200 OK")) as sumcall by Name | eval StartError=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",StartError) | eval EndError=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",EndError) | eval sumcall=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",sumcall)

Hi renjith_nair ,

Thank you very much for your reply. The command it works, but the result "sumcall" count all status != "200 OK" and collect the datetime from first and last not from the first error and last error before status_code="200 OK"

I expected the "StartError" get datetime from the first of !="200 OK" and "EndError" get datetime from the last of ="200 OK" and "SumCall" only sum how many the Error before 200 OK and not all of !="200 OK"

Like this table: (For the 200 OK, there is no StartError, EndError, and SumCall

datetime	Name	app_version	status_code	StartError	EndError	SumCall

Alright, If I understand that correctly, you need first time and last time of the records after the last successful request (200). If that's the case in the latest sample data , StartError of the 4th 500 should be 2021-01-27T09:54:00.223Z and EndError should be 2021-01-27T09:57:45.564Z

If the above assumption is correct , try using below search with your existing search

| eval flag=if(status_code="200 OK",1,0)|accum flag as group | eventstats first(eval(if(status_code!="200 OK",datetime,null()))) as StartError ,last(eval(if(status_code!="200 OK",datetime,null()))) as EndError,count(eval(status_code!="200 OK")) as sumcall by Name,group | fields - flag,group | eval StartError=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",StartError) | eval EndError=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",EndError) | eval sumcall=if(status_code=="200 OK","-",sumcall)

Sample Result
