Need a help.

Can you please provide the sample query to draw the bar chart (stacked bar chart) with the below info. We have the two sources and index="idxstaging"

  1. /var/log/idx/dispacher.log
    column:
    transaction_id
    worker_time (number)
    database_time (number)

  2. /var/log/idx/api.log

    Column:
    transaction_id
    api_response_time (number)

how can i build a bar chart based on transaction_id from the above column. We want to show the each transaction how long time its spent for worker_time, database_time and api_response_time.

Try this:

index=idxstaging (source=/var/log/idx/dispacher.log OR source=/var/log/idx/api.log) | chart sum(worker_time) sum(database_time) sum(api_response_time) by transaction_id

Configure the chart to bar and stacked through the UI.

I'm pretty sure that order is based on the column names alphabetically, so name them in a way that suits your ordering needs.

Thank you, is it possible to show in this order from the bottom, api_response_time, worker_time and database_time (o top). because the database values are very less and not showing any results.
