How to create a report on the hourly count, min, max, and avg of certain strings found in my log file?

runiyal — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:17:55 GMT

In my log file, I have lot of messages saying upload or search got completed in x seconds. Like:

Upload executed in x seconds
Search completed in x seconds

We need a report that tells us the total count on an hourly basis, but with it, it should also calculate Min/Max/Avg time (second) spent for each of that operation. Result should be like:

Activity Count Min Max Avg
Upload

Search

Try something like this (runs for last hour, check the field extraction as per your actual log)

your base search earliest=-1h@h latest=@h | rex field=_raw "(?<Activity>\w+)\s(executed|completed) in (?<duration>\d+) seconds" | stats count as Count min(duration) as Min max(duration) as Max avg(duration) as Avg by Activity

Thanks a lot. It helped!

One more thought - What if I need to have the count and Min/Max/Avg for each hour for a day?

Thanks in advance!
