count over a subtime

Hello

I have the following query which gives me a grouped list of the java stacktraces with a total count:

tag::eventtype="host5" LogLevel="ERROR" | stats sparkline(count) as sparkline, count by CallstackEntry | sort count desc

How can I add an additional column with a count of the errors during the last hour?

Thank you very much!
Domi

You can do this:

tag::eventtype="host5" LogLevel="ERROR" | eval 1h_ago = if(_time >= relative_time(now(), "-h"), 1, 0)
| stats sparkline(count) as sparkline count sum(1h_ago) as count_last_hour by CallstackEntry
| sort count desc

If the columns that you want to add are unique for that error/CallstackEntry, then you can add them by adding first(fieldName) into your stats. e.g.

ag::eventtype="host5" LogLevel="ERROR" | stats sparkline(count) as sparkline, count, first(errorMessage) as errorMessage, first(severity) as severity by CallstackEntry | sort count desc

Hi somesoni2

The log file contains java logs with errors (stack traces).
The query gives a list of these errors (grouped together) and the corresponding count of each error over the whole time.
What I want is an additional column with just the count over the last day for each error.

What other columns you want to add? Can you provide sample logs along with the expected output?
