Dear all,

I have in splunk events of this simple structure fileldX=value, like

field1=..., field2=..., ... fieldN=...

Now I need to plot a stats of my data, something like
| chart avg(?), max(?) over field1, field2,.. fieldN

How should I express the '?'?
Do I need to create a syntetic field with values of my real filed names?

Thanks!

Did it with append:

search ... | chart avg(field1) as f1, avg(field2) as f2 ... | append [ search ... | chart max(field1) as f1, max(field2) as f2... ] | transpose | rename ...

try like this:

...| chart avg(field*), max(field*) over field1, field2,.. fieldN

or

...| chart avg(*), max(*) over field1, field2,.. fieldN

over field1, field2
is not valid syntax, it says
Error in 'chart' command: Invalid argument: 'field2'
