Hi i have the below data 

_time SQL_ID NEWCPUTIME
2023-10-25T12:02:10.140+01:00 ABCD 155.42
2023-10-25T11:57:10.140+01:00 ABCD 146.76
2023-10-25T11:47:10.156+01:00 ABCD 129.34
2023-10-25T11:42:10.163+01:00 ABCD 118.84
2023-10-25T12:07:10.070+01:00 ABCD 163.27
2023-10-25T11:52:10.150+01:00 ABCD 139.34

 

EXPECTED OUTPUT is

 

output      
_time SQL_ID NEWCPUTIME delta
2023-10-25T12:07:10.070+01:00 ABCD 163.27 7.85
2023-10-25T12:02:10.140+01:00 ABCD 155.42 8.66
2023-10-25T11:57:10.140+01:00 ABCD 146.76 7.42
2023-10-25T11:52:10.150+01:00 ABCD 139.34 10
2023-10-25T11:47:10.156+01:00 ABCD 129.34 10.5
2023-10-25T11:42:10.163+01:00 ABCD 118.84 118.84

 

SPLUNK  output  which is not correct

output      
_time SQL_ID NEWCPUTIME delta
2023-10-25T12:07:10.070+01:00 ABCD 163.27  
2023-10-25T12:02:10.140+01:00 ABCD 155.42 7.85
2023-10-25T11:57:10.140+01:00 ABCD 146.76 8.66
2023-10-25T11:52:10.150+01:00 ABCD 139.34 7.42
2023-10-25T11:47:10.156+01:00 ABCD 129.34 10
2023-10-25T11:42:10.163+01:00 ABCD 118.84 10.5

 

im using the below query 

index=data sourcetype=dataset source="/usr2/data/data_STATISTICS.txt"  SQL_ID= ABCD |streamstats current=f window=1 global=f last(NEWCPUTIME) as last_field by SQL_ID |eval NEW_CPU_VALUE =abs(last_field - NEWCPUTIME) |table _time,SQL_ID, last_field,NEWCPUTIME,NEW_CPU_VALUE

 

i tried using delta command as well however im not getting the expected output as well

The output may not be what is desired, but it is correct.  The streamstats and delta commands compute the difference between the current result and the previous result rather than between the current result and the next result (which is unseen at the time).

One workaround may be to surround the streamstats or delta command with reverse, which will change the order of events and then change it back.

index=data sourcetype=dataset source="/usr2/data/data_STATISTICS.txt"  SQL_ID= ABCD 
| reverse
|streamstats current=f window=1 global=f last(NEWCPUTIME) as last_field by SQL_ID
| reverse 
|eval NEW_CPU_VALUE =abs(last_field - NEWCPUTIME) 
|table _time,SQL_ID, last_field,NEWCPUTIME,NEW_CPU_VALUE
