Hello dears,

Can i list search result with stat count like hourly trend ?

Example;

Hour : 00:00 EventCount: 10

Hour : 01:00 EventCount: 15

Hour : 02:00 EventCount: 23

Hour : 23:00 EventCount : 127

You can make trend lines on this sort of data. Are you looking to display a timechart and a trend or how do you want to visualise it?

This is an example that calcualates 24 randomly increasing values and then calculates the rolling 8 hour average trend and plots two lines on a line chart.

| makeresults count=24
| streamstats c
| eval count=(c)*((random()%c/10)+1)
| eval _time=now()-(3600*(24-c))
| streamstats window=8 avg(count) as trend
| fields - c

It uses streamstats to do the trend calculation

I'm creating a report ( save as search results as a Report) and scheduling "send mail" like inline table, if it not possible may be attached file fine for me.

So, if you want to show a table with a trend, how do you want to represent your trend? The example I gave shows you a trend of a rolling 8 hour average - you could use that or adjust it to your use case.

so, following on from your example data

Hour : 00:00 EventCount: 10
Hour : 01:00 EventCount: 15
Hour : 02:00 EventCount: 23
.
.
Hour : 23:00 EventCount : 127

do you want the 'trend' for 01:00 to show the difference (+5) to the previous hour and the same for 02:00 (+8) or as a percentage?

Anyway to simply calculate hourly differences, use any of 

  • delta
  • autoregress
  • streamstats (as in my example)
