Splunk Search

Comparing results from two searches

Hello,

I am trying to compare the standard deviation from the last 24 hours to the standard deviation of the last 3 hours. I have my search, which is basically this:

earliest = -24h@h latest = @h | timechart span=1h count | stats stdev(count) as test | append [ search earliest = -3h@h latest = @h | timechart span=1h count | stats stdev(count) as testsub ]

The search is working fine, but returns two rows. The problem is that only one field in each row is populated from the search. It looks like this:
alt text

However, I cannot compare those two values, I think because of the empty fields in each row. Is there a way to get these in the same row or a better way to compare them? I have tried eval, where, and a lot of different ways to compare them. Any help is appreciated!

Make your subsearch appendcols instead of append. You'll get everything in one row.

earliest = -24h@h latest = @h | timechart span=1h count | stats stdev(count) as test | appendcols [ search earliest = -3h@h latest = @h | timechart span=1h count | stats stdev(count) as testsub ]
