I found the following in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users//user-prefs/local/user-prefs.conf of Splunk 6.2.1: eai_app_only = False eai_results_per_page = 100 What do they do? There doesn't seem to be any documentation. ... View more

I've got a large number of logs which look similar to: INFO com.this.that.SomeLogger 2014-05-08 08:29:49,997 [CSP-12.3.4.3245432] [pool-10-thread-1] {"metaData":{"sourceURI":"/search/" ....}} and INFO com.this.that.SomeLogger 2014-05-08 08:29:49,997 [CSP-12.3.4.3245432] [pool-10-thread-1] payload=<event type="x12">...</event> in addition to log entries with a freeform text or name-value pair load. It the whole event was JSON then Splunk would format this nicely in the event viewer panel but this doesn't work for the above mixed entries. Changing the logs to all JSON is at present not an option. One way seems to be creating custom events viewers that would deal with displaying above mixed events so users awkwardly end up copy-pasting payload into a JSON or XML formatter. I hope it's possible to improve presentation of events with mixed content with limited effort, e.g. by facilitating an already existing Splunk app or deriving custom events viewers from existing ones. What are my options? ... View more

I've created the following query for a range of -12h...+12h with data 1,2,3,4 weeks ago and the data of the last 12h creating a timechart with 10m span and snapping to 10min. The query works ok with minor caveats such as ignoring summer/winter time changes. index=x somesearchfields earliest=-684h latest=+12h | eval interval_sec=600 | eval week1_end = relative_time(now(), "-156h") | eval week1_start = relative_time(now(), "-180h") | eval week2_end = relative_time(now(), "-324h") | eval week2_start = relative_time(now(), "-348h") | eval week3_end = relative_time(now(), "-492h") | eval week3_start = relative_time(now(), "-516h") | eval week4_end = relative_time(now(), "-660h") | eval today_start = relative_time(now(), "-12h") | eval dataset = case( _time < week4_end,"4 weeks ago", _time > week3_start AND _time < week3_end, "3 weeks ago", _time > week2_start AND _time < week2_end, "2 weeks ago", _time > week1_start AND _time < week1_end, "1 week ago", _time > today_start AND _time<=now(),"last 12h", 1==1, null) | eval stop=interval_sec*floor(now()+(12*3600)/interval_sec) | eval start=interval_sec*ceil((now()-(12*3600))/interval_sec) | eval _time = if(dataset=="1 week ago", _time+(3600*24*7), _time) | eval _time = if(dataset=="2 weeks ago", _time+(3600*24*14), _time) | eval _time = if(dataset=="3 weeks ago", _time+(3600*24*21), _time) | eval _time = if(dataset=="4 weeks ago", _time+(3600*24*28), _time) | where _time>start AND _time<stop | timechart span=600s fixedrange=f count by dataset The Question: How do I modify the query to get a timechart displaying the following: the last 12h of data (as currently showing as 'last 12h') the data for the interval a week earlier (as currently showing as '1 week ago') the average of the data 1,2,3 and 4 weeks earlier (i.e. avg('1 week ago' + '2 weeks ago' + '3 weeks ago' + '4 weeks ago')) ...
