Splunk Search

Single search in multiple charts

gimbil
Explorer

Hi All,

I have a search such as
search logs | ... |timchart count(eval(X="a")), count(eval(X="b)), count(eval(X="c")), …

Is there any way I can show the result, i.e., count of "a","b","c" and so one each on one chart in simple xml?

Thanks

you could build a form with that basic root search and create three different panels charts subsearches or a saved search.

Since 'chart' represents on container and panel, I think you'd need to specific a search for it..

But since you're working in XML, it's relatively easy to just copy and modify the same container..

You can try searchTemplate and searchPostProcess modules of simple xml as follow:-

 <form>
 <label>PostProcess Example</label>  
  <!-- Search that returns all of the data that requested by subsequent panels -->
  <searchTemplate>
   search logs | ... |...
  </searchTemplate>

  <row>
          <chart>
            <title>Count of A over time</title>
            <searchPostProcess>timechart  count(eval(X="a"))</searchPostProcess>
             <option name="height">300px</option>
             <option name="charting.chart">area</option>
             <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">stacked</option>
          </chart>
  </row>  
  <row>
          <chart>
            <title>Count of B over time</title>
            <searchPostProcess>timechart  count(eval(X="b"))</searchPostProcess>
             <option name="height">300px</option>
             <option name="charting.chart">area</option>
             <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">stacked</option>
          </chart>
  </row> 
  <row>
          <chart>
            <title>Count of C over time</title>
            <searchPostProcess>timechart  count(eval(X="c"))</searchPostProcess>
             <option name="height">300px</option>
             <option name="charting.chart">area</option>
             <option name="charting.chart.stackMode">stacked</option>
          </chart>
  </row> 
</form>
