Splunk Search

Search for multiple strings and put into one line chart.

Path Finder

I have a search that currently has 3 search terms...

host="s2a*" "Command Aborted" OR "Internal queue full" OR "Aborting CMD"

I want to put this into a line chart by number of occurrences returned. One line per search term. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

as per answer from Kristian, here is a regex way to do it (considering that an event has only one of those strings).

host="s2a*" "Command Aborted" OR "Internal queue full" OR "Aborting CMD" | rex "(?< myfabulousfield >(Command Aborted|Internal queue full|Aborting CMD))" | stats count by myfabulousfield

in the "rex" you meant "regex", right? If "regex" what will be the proper Splunk statement to run your suggested answer? Thanks.

Thanks, that worked just fine. I replaced stats with timechart and it gave me the results I was looking for.

You need to extract the strings above into a field, e.g. my_field

then you run your search like;

... | timechart c by my_field
