Charting completion time on daily basis

Hi, 

I'm trying to build a line graph that would show me the completion time of an event on a daily basis. The completion time is in the timestamp field. The y axis should display the time of completion and the x axis the date

Example:

timestamp="2020-10-03 00:48:48.0" statusText="SUCCESS" "JOB1"

timestamp="2020-10-01 21:45:22.0" statusText="SUCCESS" "JOB1"

timestamp="2020-09-31 21:44:22.0" statusText="SUCCESS" "JOB1"

timestamp="2020-09-30 22:48:48.0" statusText="SUCCESS" "JOB1"

timestamp="2020-09-29 00:48:48.0" statusText="SUCCESS" "JOB1"

 Can anyone please advise what is the best way to do this?

You cannot display time as such on the Y axis, but you can do this, where you are creating a decimal value of time

| makeresults
| eval _raw="timestamp=\"2020-10-03 00:48:48.0\" statusText=\"SUCCESS\" job=\"JOB1\";
timestamp=\"2020-10-01 21:45:22.0\" statusText=\"SUCCESS\" job=\"JOB1\";
timestamp=\"2020-09-30 21:44:22.0\" statusText=\"SUCCESS\" job=\"JOB1\";
timestamp=\"2020-09-29 22:48:48.0\" statusText=\"SUCCESS\" job=\"JOB1\";
timestamp=\"2020-09-28 00:48:48.0\" statusText=\"SUCCESS\" job=\"JOB1\""
| eval x=split(_raw,";")
| mvexpand x
| rename x as _raw
| extract
| fields - _raw
| eval _time=strptime(timestamp,"%F %T.%Q")
| eval t=split(substr(timestamp, 12, 8),":")
| eval h=mvindex(t,0), m=mvindex(t,1), s=mvindex(t,2)
| eval v=(h)+(m/100)
| bin _time span=1d
| chart max(v) over _time by job

What you want is from after the fields - _raw line

It creates the Y axis as hours + minutes / 100, so 10:48 will look like 10.48

Hope this is useful.

Hi, I am trying to adapt this solution to a query that I have that returns job ending times.

If I am starting with this query:

index=anIndex sourcetype=aSourcetype ( aJobName AND "COMPLETED OK" )

From this query I get a list of events.

How can this solution be used to graph my events ?

It's best to open a new question rather than take a different tack to an old one, it makes it easier for others to see the new one, so you'll get the best help.
