Hi Team,

I am having a question regarding log details in Splunk.

1.How response time is generating in logs.?

2.From where it gets configured?

HI @Als123,

what do you mean with "response time"?

in Splunk there are two timestamps:

  • _time: the timestamp of the event, extracted during indexing from the event with rules defined in props.conf,
  • _indextime: the timestamp associated to the event when the event is indexed by Splunk.

If instead you're speaking of a field in event (e.g. milliseconds from a web transactions) you have to extract it using a regex.

Ciao.

Hi @Als123,

this is a very generic question!

Anyway, if you can clearly identify your transactions (e.g. using a unique Transaction ID to group all the events of a transaction) you can use more solutions to calculate the duration of the transaction.

The easiest way, but not the more performant is the transaction command (see to https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/SearchReference/Transaction ).

Otherway you can use the stats command, that's faster than the other, try somerhng like this:

Your_search
| stats earliest(_time) AS earliest latest(_time) AS latest BY transaction_ID
| eval duration=latest-earliest
| table transaction_ID duration

 Ciao.
