Why are we having an appendcols issue?

There is something wrong with the data output by using apendcols. The data of Total_Actual is blank from 02-2022. But actually there has data all of months. May I know what's the reason..?

index=sourceA

PRIORITY="High" OR
PRIORITY="Medium" OR
PRIORITY="Low"
WAS_CRITICAL="yes"
| eval _time=strptime(FIRST_SOLVED_DATE,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N")
| timechart span=1mon count as Total

| appendcols [search index=sourceA

PRIORITY="Critical"
| eval _time=strptime(FIRST_SOLVED_DATE,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N")
| timechart span=1mon count as Total_Actual]
| eval Rate_%=round((Total_Actual/Total)*100, 2)
| table _time, Total, Total_Actual, Rate_%
| tail 12
| sort _time

OUTPUT

_time Total Total_Actual Rate_%

@simon1524 - Try this query instead:

index=sourceA
| eval _time=strptime(FIRST_SOLVED_DATE,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%N")

| timechart span=1mon count(eval((PRIORITY="High" OR PRIORITY="Medium" OR PRIORITY="Low") AND WAS_CRITICAL="yes")) as Total, count(eval(PRIORITY="Critical")) as Total_Actual

| eval Rate_%=round((Total_Actual/Total)*100, 2)
| table _time, Total, Total_Actual, Rate_%
| tail 12
| sort _time

Single timechart command without appendpipe should give you the results.

This query is much more robust and performance effective.

 

I hope this helps!!! Karma/upvote would be appreciated!!!
