Getting Data In

How to search the average duration of REST API calls taken by each host and average elapsed CPU time?

I have 7 hosts and the REST API service runs on all the 7 nodes. I need to figure out the average duration of the REST API calls taken by each node and the average CPU elapsed time.

How can I group by RESTAPI_V1 by host to calculate average duration and CPU elapsed?

Hi,

I wanted to know how did you get this timing for each service (RESTAPI) call.
Can you please explain me about this. It would be very helpful for me.

Do a search for the events that contain RESTAPI and feed those results into the stats command

index=web *RESTAPI* | stats avg(Duration) by host

This assumes that the Duration field is being extracted, which it should, unless you have disabled kv extraction

Thank you Sduff, if there are multiple rest services which are set to run on multiple nodes, how can i group by rest api service names and identify the average duration per host.

You'll probably need to 'rex' out the field you require

 index=web *RESTAPI* | rex field=_raw "service:(?<rest_service>.*)" | stats avg(Duration) by rest_service
