Getting multiple entries for a single workload.....

[chinmay25]

Hello everyone.....I have been trying to get CPU time for different workloads. However, for some workloads I am getting multiple entries of CPU Time.....how do i avoid getting multiple entries?

Please see the query I am working on below...

| fields SMF30JBN DATETIME SMF30CPT
| eval Job_Name=SMF30JBN, Date = substr(DATETIME,1,10)
| eval WORKLOAD = substr(Job_Name,1,3)
| eval CP_Time=SMF30CPT
| eval cpu_time=strptime(SMF30CPT,"%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval base=strptime("00:00:00.00","%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval ctime=cpu_time-base
| eval ctime=round(ctime, 2)
| stats values(ctime) as CPU_TIME by WORKLOAD Date

@chinmay25,

Usually its because of the multi processor systems where you have two or more CPUs . If that's the case, it's a sum of all CPU time taken up by that workload. 

There are other possibilities that the workload has multiple executions per day and/or you are receiving duplicate events etc. Look at your raw events and based on the final requirement, we can fine tune

I was able to get the average CPU time. However, I am getting a result as below.

Workload	CPU_TIME	AVG_TIME
PART A	3.5
PART B	2485.4
AVG_TIME		226.26

I want to get the avg time value under the same column as the CPU_TIME.

here is the query that I have

| fields SMF30JBN DATETIME SMF30CPT
| eval Job_Name=SMF30JBN, Date = substr(DATETIME,1,10)
| eval WORKLOAD = substr(Job_Name,1,3)
| eval CP_Time=SMF30CPT
| eval cpu_time=strptime(SMF30CPT,"%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval base=strptime("00:00:00.00","%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval ctime=cpu_time-base
| eval ctime=round(ctime, 2)
| stats sum(ctime) as CPU_TIME by WORKLOAD
| eval SYST = substr(WORKLOAD,1,1)
| eval TYPE = case(SYST = "F", "PART A PROD",SYST = "M", "PART B PROD")
| appendpipe
[| stats sum(CPU_TIME) as CPU_TIME by TYPE
| eval WORKLOAD="".TYPE." CPU_TIME"]
| fields WORKLOAD CPU_TIME
| append
[search index=cds_ffs_smf030 SMFID=EDCA sourcetype=syncsort:smf030 SMF30STP=5
| fields SMF30JBN DATETIME SMF30CPT
| eval Job_Name=SMF30JBN, Date = substr(DATETIME,1,10)
| eval WORKLOAD = substr(Job_Name,1,3)
| eval CP_Time=SMF30CPT
| eval cpu_time=strptime(SMF30CPT,"%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval base=strptime("00:00:00.00","%H:%M:%S.%2N")
| eval ctime=cpu_time-base
| eval ctime=round(ctime, 2)
| stats sum(ctime) as CPU_TIME by WORKLOAD
| stats avg(CPU_TIME) as AVG_TIME
| eval AVG_TIME = round(AVG_TIME, 2)
| eval WORKLOAD="AVG_TIME"]

The sum helped.

I have calculated the total CPU time for the different workloads. Need to get the average CPU time as well.

Any suggestions?
