Dashboards & Visualizations

Dynamic gauge values

Hi Splunkers,

I am currently trying to create a gauge visualization, but the issue is that my daily number of events is showing up as 0.

This is my query:

host=* COMMAND="PWD"| bucket _time span=day
| stats count by _time| outlier | stats max(count) as mx | eval y1=mx/4| eval y2= y1*2 | eval y3= y1*3| eval y4= mx | gauge count 0 y1 y2 y3 y4

 

 

Gauge with dynamic valuesGauge with dynamic values

As you can see the gauge is pegged at zero. The needle represents the total number of events for today.

Any suggestions?

Thank You, 

Marco

The problem is there is no field called "count" for the gauge command to display.  Try 

... | | gauge mx 0 y1 y2 y3 y4

BTW, I don't see the point of having the gauge always pinned at the max value.
