How to extract JSON into a chart?

goe

Hello,

I have JSON string in the following format,

{"status":"503"}

and I would like to create a pie chart with the values of status, the number of occurrences for a time period.

So far I create this and I think I am close,

ERROR | spath output=status path=status | timechart count as "Error" by status

Hey thanks! I managed to solve it using rex because it's JSON within regular text.

My solution is similiar to this.

But instead of displaying in table I did,

| rex field=_raw "status\":\"(?P<msg>.[^\"\"]*)" | chart count msg

Can you try:

| makeresults | eval abc="{\"status\":\"503\"}"  | spath input=abc output=status path=status | timechart count by status
