How to compare peak for same time range in different days?

Hi Splunkers, in our environment we have seen that we have some event peaks every day between certain hours, which are 03:00 - 04:00 AM. 

Now, we have to identify which source are responsible for those peaks.
The search we must build has to perform this: tell us, for every day of a certain time period (for example, a week), at the same hour (03:00 - 04:00 AM), total count of events for every sources.

I know that, with this search:

 

index=* 
| chart count over index by sourcetype

 

I'm able to show a column chart that spawn me the total count of events for every indexes and, for them, I have a picture of involved sourcetypes. But how to tell to search "show me for every day this count in time range 03:00 - 04:00" AM?

Hi @SplunkExplorer,

if you want to analyze only peaks in a certain pèeriod (e.g. 3.00-4.00) you could run something like this:

index=* date_hour IN (3,4) earliest=-7d@d latest=@d
| timechart count by sourcetype

If you  want also index values, you have to use:

index=* date_hour IN (3,4) earliest=-7d@d latest=@d
| bin span=24h -time
| stats values(index) AS index count by _time sourcetype

Ciao.
