Values in bar chart varying

Devi13
Path Finder

Hello Team,

I have a bar graph representing data,

When I keep the timechart span=15m and run the search for 1h

The value for the last 15 mins is showing high and after sometime if I run the same search the value is showing normal.

Is it an expected behaviour and why is it happening like this.

How to fix this, any help is appreciated.

Eg

9:00 - 9:15 30

9:15 - 9:30 36

9:30 - 9:45 45

9:45 - 10:00 180

After sometime

9:45 - 10:00 49

Hello @gcusello ,

index=* host=* OR host=* source="*" "xxxx"
| dedup AA
| timechart span=1d count by host

But when I check tomorrow, the values are going down..

Hi @Devi13,

what does it happen if you don't use dedup, there's the same behaviour?

ciao.
