I need to round the max(Delay) and avg(Delay) to 3 decimals in the following command:
my search | timechart span=5m avg(Delay) max(Delay) by host
Thanks

Hi @DPOIRE,

sorry my error!

my search 
| bin span=5m _time
| stats avg(Delay) AS avgDelay max(Delay) AS maxDelay by _time host
| eval avgDelay=round(avgDelay,3), maxDelay=round(maxDelay,3)

Ciao.

@DPOIRE You can certainly calculate as many values in timechart as you like and round them as needed, although rounding after a timechart+split_by needs to use "foreach" because the field names are named by the split field (in your case 'host')

| timechart span=5m avg(Delay) max(Delay) by host
| foreach * [ eval "<<FIELD>>"=round('<<FIELD>>', 3) ]

Note that the left hand side of eval uses double quotes and the right hand side, single, round the <<FIELD>>.

That is to take care of any potential odd characters in the host results.

Hi @DPOIRE,

for my knowledge, you cannot calculate two values in timechart, so you need to use stats,

please try this:

my search 
| span span=5m _time
| stats avg(Delay) AS avgDelay max(Delay) AS maxDelay by _time host
| eval avgDelay=round(avgDelay,3), maxDelay=round(maxDelay,3)

Ciao.
