I am new to slunk, I have to create one dashboard and compare current day with same day of last week based on request ids count.

 

 

 

 

 

index="test" s_name="test-app*" earliest=-0d@d latest=now
| bucket span=1h _time
| stats dc(message.req_id) as tcount by _time
| eval ReportKey="today"
| append [search index="test" s_name="test-app*" earliest=-7d@d latest=-6d@d
        | bucket span=1h _time
        | stats dc(message.req_id) as week by _time
        | eval ReportKey="lweek"]
| timechart span=1h sum(week) as Lweek, sum(tcount) as Today by ReportKey

Hi @ssharma,

please try something like this:

index="test" cf_app_name="test-app*" ((earliest=-0d@d latest=now) OR (earliest=-7d@d latest=-6d@d))
| eval hour=strftime(_time, "%H"), week=if(now()-_time>86400,"Previous week","This week")
| chart dc(message.req_id) OVER hour BY week

Ciao.

Hi @ssharma,

yes it's possible using timechart, but you want to overlap values of today's hours and one week ago, and this is one solution.

Hi @ssharma ,

let me better understand: what time period do you want to monitor?

I used the time frames of your search, if you want a different time frame put it in the search parameters.

If you want the todays values, you could use:

index="test" cf_app_name="test-app*" ((earliest=@d latest=now) OR (earliest=-7d@d latest=-6d@d))
| eval hour=strftime(_time, "%H"), week=if(now()-_time>86400,"Previous week","This week")
| chart dc(message.req_id) OVER hour BY week

Ciao.
