Reporting

How do I generate a report based on date on every Friday?

I wanted to generate a summary report for number of saved searches triggered based on the date (as column headers) on every Friday. For instance,

savedsearch_name  05/27/16   06/03/16   06/10/16 
===============   =======    ========  ========
abc                    12          23        42
xyz                    99          12        11

Any clues?

Thanks.

Give this a try

index=_internal sourcetype=scheduler status!=delegate* | eval day=strftime(dispatch_time,"%A") | where day="Friday" | eval Date=strftime(dispatch_time,"%m/%d/%Y") | chart count over savedsearch_name by Date

Update

This should get you what you want. Summarize weekly execution count and show them on Friday date.

index=_internal sourcetype=scheduler status!=delegate*  | eval _time=relative_time(dispatch_time,"@w+5d")| eval Date=strftime(dispatch_time,"%m/%d/%Y") | chart count over savedsearch_name by Date

Sorry, my initial statement is not clear. The query works on the specific Date (or day), but I would like to get the weekly summary reported on every Friday.

Ok.. That will be simpler. Just remoave the day calculation and filter.

index=_internal sourcetype=scheduler status!=delegate*  | eval Date=strftime(dispatch_time,"%m/%d/%Y") | chart count over savedsearch_name by Date

Select the appropriate time range to select the full week.

The summary still shows in a daily basis.
