Getting Data In

Transaction using timestamp

I have the following query.
index="someindex" | sort +evnt_ts | transaction dcn,evnt_ts keepevicted="t"| table dcn,_time,evnt_ts

There are 15 events for each dcn. When I do 'transaction dcn', I get the results properly with evnt_ts grouped together. I need to results come in ascending time sequence as I want to use 'delta' command to find the time difference between each events. When I run the above query, the timestamp is always in reverse order (most recent time first). I even tried |reverse. Nothing works. Any luck.

Have you tried '... | sort -evnt_ts | ...'?

Yes. I got the same result with event_ts, how sort using _time helped.I managed to make it work by specifying "startwith" as well as with those sort as there are many similar transaction with same dcn. Thanks again.

index="someindex" | transaction dcn startswith="020"| eval "Response Time(Secs)" = round(duration,2) | eval "Event Time"=strftime(_time, "%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S") | rename rcvd_dt as "Received Date" dcn as DCN | table "Event Time", "Received Date" , DCN, , "Response Time(Secs)" | sort -"Event Time"
