Splunk Search

Combine Sub searches with different time references

Hey,

 

right now I am a bit messed up in the mind and not sure if I try to find an overly complicated solution to a maybe fairly simple problem.

 

Secanrio is; I have a set of historical stock market prices (Ticker, Close-price, Volume). I want to extract several information here:

1. The %Change of a given day compared to the previous (work) day and the respective volume. Additionally the time frame should be defined relatively (set only the date fix, but the range flexible). Table that for the Top10 with their respective volume that day.

2. Use the ouput from above to generate a similar set but now with 1day, week, month later then the given day, but only for the Top10 above and combine that into one result table

Desired outcome:

Ticker%-Change -1dVolume%-Change +1d%-Change +1w
AAA5.0100001.0-8.0
BBB3.0500004.04.5
CCC1.070000-1.03.0

 

I think I solved part 1  with:

 

index=market_price Close!=""  
[
search latest="6/23/2020:00:00:00"
| addinfo 
| head 1 
| eval latest=info_max_time+86400
| eval earliest=info_max_time-86400
| fields earliest,latest 
| format "(" "(" "" ")" "OR" ")" 
]
| bin span=1d _time
| stats avg(Close) as Close avg(Volume) as Vol by _time Ticker
| streamstats global=f current=f first(Close) as p_close by Ticker
| eval delta=round(((Close-p_close)/p_close)*100,2)
| where delta!=""
| eval Amount_in_Mio=round((Close*Vol)/1000000,0)
| where Amount_in_Mio>2000
| table Ticker delta Amount_in_Mio
| sort - delta |head 10

 

 

Part 2 I can get a set of results for the day after, but not based on the Top 10 from above:

 

index=market_price Close!=""  
[
search earliest="6/23/2020:00:00:00"
| addinfo 
| head 1 
| eval latest=info_min_time+86400
| eval earliest=info_min_time-86400
| fields earliest,latest 
| format "(" "(" "" ")" "OR" ")" 
]
| bin span=1d _time
| stats avg(Close) as Close avg(Volume) as Vol by _time Ticker
| streamstats global=f current=f first(Close) as p_close by Ticker
| eval delta=round(((Close-p_close)/p_close)*100,2)
| where delta!=""

| table Ticker delta
| sort - delta |head 10

 

 

I think right now, I think I would need to combine several sub searches for relative times, the first Top10 and the subsequent datasets.

Not sure If I moved myself into a dead end here, so any suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks

@tscroggins : awesome. Thanks for the input! I think I'll have an exciting evening today to try it.
I'll let you know how it went.

Here's a starting point for a dashboard, but you'll need to accommodate market weekends, holidays, etc.

@MarcusBB 

Here are two examples, one search using multiple join commands with subsearches and one search using no joins. Both produce the same output but require pre-calculating time ranges. In a Simple XML dashboard, the time ranges can be calculated in change events linked to a time input.

I've used historical Nasdaq data from https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/quotes/historical for fifteen symbols:  AAPL, AMD, AMZN, CSCO, DELL, FB, IBM, MSFT, ORCL, QCOM, SBUX, SPLK, TSLA, TWTR, ZNGA. (Note that I'm a freelance Splunker, not a stock trader!)

Joins are great for modeling searches, but they have a bad reputation, sometimes deserved, sometimes not. In my small, standalone environment, this search executes in about 1.5 seconds. That's a bit slow.

Here's a similar search without joins that executes in about 0.5 seconds.

Whether you do or don't use joins depends on your environment. In my case, I would use the search without joins, as each of the join subsearches returns about the same number of events as the simplified search, but the simplified search does away with the join overhead (subsearch startup and teardown, set operations, etc.).
