Splunk Search

how to modify my query to display a detail view with hosts?

I have a search as follows

field="abc"| eval b=len(_raw) | timechart span=1h sum(b) as b | eval mb=round(b/1024/1024,2) | eval gb=round(b/1024/1024/1024,2) | eventstats avg(gb) as Avg

Which displays the result as follows

Now I want to modify my search to see a time chart which displays the average gb for each host per hour. Is there any way to modify my search to display like that?

The trick is that you need to do the "bucketing" that timechart does, twice: once to calculate each hosts's hourly sum and then again to avg all hosts' sums. This is a exactly why the bucket (AKA bin) command exists. Do it like this:

field="abc"| eval b=len(_raw)
| bucket _time span=1h | stats sum(b) AS b by _time host
| timechart span=1h avg(b) as b | eval mb=round(b/1024/1024,2) | eval gb=round(b/1024/1024/1024,2)

Based on your indications above:

I guess this is what you are looking for:

field="abc"
| eval b=len(_raw) 
| timechart span=1h avg(b) as b by host
| foreach * [eval <<FIELD>>=round('<<FIELD>>'/1024/1024/1024,10)]

NOTE: I have rounded that to include up to 10 decimals mainly because I don't know how much data is going through your hosts but feel free to revert that back to 2 o whichever value fits your needs.
