command stats with full table even if null values

Hi

Does anyone know how to get as output of a stats command a table with all values even when the result is null to avoid gaps in the table?

" ..... | stats count by date_mday Priority | xyseries date_mday Priority count | fillnull | sort+date_mday"

If there is no entry for one day , the day is skipped.

Hi loyslegrand,

take this run everywhere example and adapt it to your needs:

 index=_internal foo earliest=-30d | timechart span="1d" count | eval date_mday=strftime(_time, "%d") | fields count date_mday

Here the timechart does most of what you want but the date_mday is blank for dates with no data. The eval will recreate this field and finally the fields command cleans the result.

hope this helps to get you started ...

cheers, MuS

Thanks , it works; as I wanted the count by Priority I have entered :
"index=_internal foo earliest=-30d | timechart span="1d" count by Priority | eval date_mday=strftime(_time, "%d")"
the result is a full table including the null values

Add fillnull before your stats command.

... | fillnull date_mday | stats count ...
