Splunk Search

Combining two search and charting successfull event and errors in one chart.

Hello everyone,

Seeking your help. I have  logs where Transaction_ID is unique to  transaction. Depending on each transaction there can be multiple action. But if there is an error there would be a log generated with Action=Error.

I have created two search 

One for successfull creation of transaction:

`base_search` | search action=Error | timechart distinct_count(Transaction_ID) as Successfull

And for errors.

`base_search` | search action!=Error | timechart distinct_count(Transaction_ID) as Error.

I would like to simply display these two in one chart to see number of successfull events vs failed. What would be the best method to combine these two ?

 

Appreciate any guidance.

It is not clear what time value you want to chart so I have assumed the last time for the transaction, I have also assumed you want daily counts. Gather the actions per transaction, and set status based on whether "error" is one of the status for the transaction.

| stats values(actions) as actions last(_time) as _time by transactionid
| eval status=if(match(actions,"error"),"Error","Successful")
| timechart span=1d dc(transactionid) by status
