Hi,

I want to run something similar to the below on metrics data stored in metrics index, can you please assist:
eval ip34 = if(ip=="37.25.139.34",1,0) ,ip35 = if(ip=="37.25.139.35",1,0)
| mstats sum(ip34) , sum(ip35) ,
         avg(bytes) , stdev(bytes) , median(bytes) 
         avg(response_time_s) , stdev(response_time_s) , median(response_time_s) 
  where index=sfp_metrics earliest=-5m@m latest=@m span=1m by uri

 It gives me:

Any idea how to achieve this would be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Hi @nouraali 

Never tried mstats your SPL need a change, try this 

| mstats count(eval(ip=="37.25.139.34")) as ip34 , count(eval(ip=="37.25.139.35")) as ip35 ,
         avg(bytes) , stdev(bytes) , median(bytes) 
         avg(response_time_s) , stdev(response_time_s) , median(response_time_s) 
  where index=sfp_metrics earliest=-5m@m latest=@m span=1m by uri 
| eventstats sum(ip34) as ip34, sum(ip35) as ip35 by uri 
| table ip* avg* std* med* uri

| mstats seems doesn't support stats style eval aggr functions. How about changing to stats?

index=sfp_metrics earliest=-5m@m latest=now
| bin span=1m _time
| stats count(eval(ip=="37.25.139.34")) as ip34, count(eval(ip=="37.25.139.35")) as ip35,avg(bytes),stdev(bytes),median(bytes),avg(response_time_s),stdev(response_time_s),median(response_time_s) by _time, uri 
| eventstats sum(ip34) as ip34, sum(ip35) as ip35 by uri 
| table ip* avg* std* med* uri

This works only on events index, while the data i am searching is stored in metrics index.
