How can I create a chart with the range start and end date in the y-axis?

[venkatsivab]

Example data :

start_date end_date batch_name
2017-11-18 12:12:13 2017-11-18 15:12:13 job1
2017-11-18 10:12:13 2017-11-18 12:12:13 job2

I have to create a chart where the x-axis contains the timechart span=1d by batch_nm and y axis should display the range start_date and end_date data so that we can see when the job1 started and job1 ended.

Like this:

| makeresults 
| eval raw="2017-11-18 12:12:13 2017-11-18 15:12:13 job1::2017-11-18 10:12:13 2017-11-18 12:12:13 job2"
| makemv delim="::" raw
| mvexpand raw
| rename raw AS _raw
| rex "^(?<start_date>\S+\s+\S+)\s+(?<end_date>\S+\s+\S+)\s+(?<job_id>\S+)$"
| fields - _raw

| rename COMMENT AS "Everything above generates sample event data; everything below is your solution"

| eval start_date = strptime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| eval end_date = strptime(end_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| eval _time = start_date
| fieldformat start_date=strftime(start_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| fieldformat end_date=strftime(end_date, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| eval duration = end_date - start_date
| rename COMMENT AS "to convert to minutes, add '| eval duration=duration/60'"
| rename COMMENT AS "to convert to hours, add '| eval duration=duration/(60*60)'"
| timechart avg(duration) AS duration BY job_id

If you need that, here's one easy way:

1) Convert the start time to decimal hours after midnight.
2) Calculate the duration of the job in decimal hours.
3) Present the results as a stacked bar chart with the start time on the bottom and the duration on top.
