Hi,

I have a search which displays content in a table format. Here is the search and I would like to show them in scatter chart or in D3.
alt text

index=myindex  mess_type=OUT origin=* org_name=* env=* (app_name=cap-demo-test OR app_name=nem-cap-bat OR app_name=nem-cap-pag) | eval newmsg="UPDATE" | rex field=fullmsg "(?CRASHED|STARTED|STOPPED)" | table app_name, time, source_instance, newmsg | sort app_name, time, source_instance, newmsg

Hmmmm well a couple of thoughts

Have you tried formatting the timechart as a multi-series? This way each series is on a chart of it's own. Might be easier to understand that way.

Another option would be to try a Horizon Chart (its a Splunkbase add on - https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3117/)

What is it in particular that the manager doesn't understand?

HI,thanks for your response.
i tried multi-series.its better now.

and i tried Horizon chart but they were using search something like timechart useother="f" span=1d limit=10 latest(open) by ticker_symbol

but i am not sure how can i write my query to fit into horizon chart.

Yea that is one limitation of the Horizon chart, it will only graph 10 Y axis values.

Glad to hear multi-series helped!!!

Hi rajgowd1,
the best way to do what you want is to download and install the Splunk 6.x dashboard Examples App (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/), in which is fully described with an example how to create a scatter chart.
Bye.

Hi,
i gone through the dashboard examples but it does'not have the chart like i mentioned in my question.

is there a way we can show time in x-axis and state in y-axis?

What if you concatenated the four fields (or a subset)?

i.e.

eval variable1=field1." - ".field2

and then used variable1 as the group by with the timechart

i.e.

your search | timechart count by variable1

Would something like that work?
