Hello Team,

I have log like this,

File Records count is 2

File Records count is 5

File Records count is 45

File Records count is 23

and I have extracted the values 2,5,45,23 as a separate field called Count.

When I use "base search| table Count"  I am getting the expected value in a stats table

But I want 2,5,45,23 to be plotted in the line graph.

I tried stats commands but its only showing the no. of events of Count but not the values of count.

Could you please provide your assistance on how can I plot the values of Count into a graph.

Hi @Devi13,

probably the Counts are strings, so did you tried to convert them in numbers using eval tonumber (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/SearchReference/ConversionFunctions#tonumber.28.2...)?

base search
| eval Count=tonumber(Count)
| table Count

 Ciao.

Have you tried creating a dashboard and adding a panel of the chart type you want, then using your search as the data source?
