Hi guys,

So today I am trying to graph "requests_currently_being_processed" by server by time- over 1 hour period.

The log which I am trying to form the search from is as follows:

Can someone please lend me a land? If you need any clarification, please let me know how I can help.

Thanks

The quickest way is as follows:

... | rex "requests_per_second=(?<requests_per_second>[^,]*)," | timechart span=1h avg(requests_per_second) BY server

What have you tried so far? Regex should be unnecessary since your data is already in keyword=value format so Splunk can automatically extract the fields.

I have tried doing :

index=mobile_app sourcetype=apache_status_log "requests_per_second=" | timechart span=1d limit=5 count by host 

But that is not correct. I want it to display all the requests per second over an hour span for each of the hosts.

How is it not correct? The host field is not necessarily the name of the server that processed the request. I believe you want index=mobile_app sourcetype=apache_status_log "requests_per_second" | timechart span=1h limit=5 values(requests_per_second) by ServerName.
