Basic commands with SPL

Hi @all,

I'm a little bit helpless at the beginning of SPLUNK.

I tried to do simple queries like:

  • Request statuscode and make a timechart with
    index="name" | timechart count(http_status=200)
  • Count pageviews of a specified url
    index="name" | timechart count (cs_uri_stem)

Both commands doesn't work. Can you please help me finding and execute the right commands?

Thank you 🙂 BR Michael

In both cases:

index=name http_status=200 | timechart count

Just change cs_uri_stem before pipe.

You should only pass a field into your function, you're passing a field and its value. So for the first one, it would look like

index="name" http_status=200 | timechart count

Second one should work since you're passing a field. Verify the field is spelled right and in the timerange of your data
