Is it possible to print a line chart with: line with value, line with mean+stdev and line with mean-stdev?

Hi people!

I'm trying to print a line chart with three values:

  • value
  • mean(value) - stdev(value)
  • mean(value) + stdev(value)

I'm trying this:

stats mean(percentIdle) AS mean, stdev(percentIdle) AS stdev |
eval down= mean-stdev |
eval up= mean+stdev |
timechart first(down) as "min" first(up) as "max" first(percentIdle) as "percentIdle"

And similar variations but nothing works.

Does anyone knows how to do this?

Thank you!

Hi,

that actually didn't give me exactly what i needed, because that prints the mean, the stdev and the eval result, but I fixed it with this:

timechart eval(mean(percentIdle) + stdev(percentIdle)) AS up, eval(mean(percentIdle) - stdev(percentIdle)) AS down, first(percentIdle) as percentIdle

This prints the metric itself, the mean+stdev and the mean-stdev 🙂

Thank you for the reply!

Hi,

Please can you try the following:

| timechart mean(percentIdle) AS mean, stdev(percentIdle) AS stdev
| eval up = mean+stdev, down=mean-stdev

Let me know if you're still having problems.
