Hi

As per this question http://answers.splunk.com/answers/90569/event-count-per-user-per-hour.html

sourcetype=your_sourcetype earliest=-48h latest=-24h | bucket _time span=1h | stats count by _time | sort - count

This will count the events per hour between 48 hours ago to 24 hours ago... (change this as you see fit or remove earliest and latest)

If you want to average all of those results, you would add the stats avg(count) at the end of the search:

sourcetype=your_sourcetype earliest=-48h latest=-24h | bucket _time span=1h | stats count by _time | stats avg(count)

This will average out the number of events per hour...

If you have a specific event you are looking for, that would go at the beginning:

sourcetype=your_sourcetype earliest=-48h latest=-24h   some_thing_that_I'm_trying_to_match    | bucket _time span=1h | stats count by _time | sort - count

sourcetype=your_sourcetype earliest=-48h latest=-24h   some_thing_that_I'm_trying_to_match    | bucket _time span=1h | stats count by _time | stats avg(count)
