Splunk Search

Charting the 2 fields on the same chart.

I have a log of login timestamps. I would like to display the total count and total unique value count on the same bar chart.

Here is my search:

sourcetype="etv" cname="*" ur="*" | stats dc(u) as "unique", count by u | chart sum(count) as "Total Logins", sum(unique) as "Total Unique Logins"

Where 'u' is the UserID.

However, this search charts the "Total Logins" by "Total Unique Logins", which is not what I want.

Is there a way chart this information, split by their field names?

Would this work

sourcetype="etv" cname="*" ur="*" 
| stats dc(u) as "Total Unique Logins" count as "Total Logins"
| transpose

And then choose the Visualization tab

(After some thought, I figured out that you can simplify your calculations.)

Thanks! The transpose command was what I was missing.

I thought so too but here is what I get:

However, I'd like to have them on different bars of the count on the bottom.

Incidentally... Depending on the difference between total logins and unique logins, you may need to set the y-axis to "log" rather than "linear" in order to see the relationship between them.

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
