Range map multiple fields in search

[bmacias84]

I am trying to prevent my search head from reaching the maximum number of concurrent searches by combine my searches used in my singles on a dashboard and rangemap the values. The problem is the range map for fcpu is applied to fmem for my single.

index="server" sourcetype="perfmon" | rename host as chost |regex chost="(?i)(ASERVER[\w\d+]+)" |stats first(totaperproctime) as cpuby chost | sort -cpu, chost | head 1 | fields cpu, chost | append [search index="sb_web" sourcetype="perfmon" | rename host as mhost |regex mhost="(?i)(ASERVER[\w\d+]+)" |stats first(permemcommitted) as mem by mhost | sort -mem, mhost| head 1 |fields mem, mhost] | stats first(mem) as fmem, first(mhost) as fmhost, first(cpu) as fcpu, first(chost) as fchost | rangemap field=fcpu low=0-35 elevated=36-70 severe=71-100 | rangemap field=fmem low=0-14 elevated=15-70 severe=71-100 | rangemap field=fcpu low=0-35 elevated=36-70 severe=71-100

Results:

fmem | fmhost | fcpu | fchost| range

15.98 | ASEVER11 | 10.25| ASERVER09| low

xml for singles:

<row grouping="1,1,6">

    <chart>

        somechart

    </chart>

    <chart>

        somechart

    </chart>

    <html>

      <h3>Core Server Hightest Memory</h3>

    <single>

      <searchName>Core Max CPU and MEM by host</searchName>

      <option name="classField">range</option>

      <option name="field">fmhost</option>

    </single>

    <single>

      <option name="afterLabel">%</option>

      <option name="field">fmem</option>

    </single>

      <option name="classField">range</option>

      <option name="field">fcpu</option>

    </single>


  </row>

I've also tried using:
<option name="charting.chart.rangeValues">[0,100,300,500]</option> with no success.

Any help would be appreciated.

How to fix your search (and XML):

index="server" sourcetype="perfmon" 
| rename host as chost |regex chost="(?i)(ASERVER[wd+]+)" 
|stats first(totaperproctime) as cpuby chost 
| sort -cpu, chost | head 1 | fields cpu, chost 
| append [search index="sb_web" sourcetype="perfmon" 
  | rename host as mhost |regex mhost="(?i)(ASERVER[wd+]+)" 
  |stats first(permemcommitted) as mem by mhost 
  | sort -mem, mhost| head 1 |fields mem, mhost]  
| stats first(mem) as fmem, first(mhost) as fmhost, first(cpu) as fcpu, first(chost) as fchost 
| rangemap field=fcpu low=0-35 elevated=36-70 severe=71-100 
| rename range as fcpu_range
| rangemap field=fmem low=0-14 elevated=15-70 severe=71-100
| rename range as fmem_range

In the XML, simply change the line

<option name="classField">range</option>

to either

<option name="classField">fcpu_range</option>

or

<option name="classField">fmem_range</option>

depending on the panel...

Have you considered using postprocessing? I think this will be closer to what you want.

With this technique, you run a single search, and then manipulate the results in multiple ways, displaying each variant in its own dashboard panel. Here is the description in the manual:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Developer/PostProcess

You may also find it helpful to download the free app: Splunk UI Examples for 4.1+ which has at least one example of postprocessing.
