Hi I have log file that each minute store 1 event like this

8:00   1

8:01   1

8:02   1

 

instead of counting i want store last value and add new value to that, like this:

8:48    2

8:49   12 (10+2)

8:50   20  (3+12)

8:51   21 (1+20)

any idea?

 Thanks

Hi @indeed_2000  You have to use streamstats command.

You can try something like this, i assumed your field name for numerical as 'count' you have to change it for your case.

 

 

<your_search_goes_here>
| reverse 
| streamstats sum(count)

 

 

Output would be something like this,

Field value is not number

field name= status (success,fail) 

 

Also i try these but not work:

index=main | reverse | streamstats sum(status)

index=main | reverse | streamstats sum(count(status))

any idea?

 Thanks

I do field extraction that the name is “status”, and value is “fail” or “success”.

2021-07-06 23:11:12,138 INFO [app] success, User: anonymous

expected result:
fail 1
success 1
fail 2
success 2
fail 3
success 3
fail 4
success 4
success 5
success 6
