Splunk Search

Timechart based on max count of 3 fields

I was given a base search to manipulate and create Timechart accordingly.

base search
| eval file_line = file.":".line
| eval errorList = message . ":" . file_line . ":" . level
| top 25 message,file_line,level by applicationBuild
| table applicationBuild level count file_line message

The result was formatted as such

build2021ERROR8file1.java:111ErrorMessage123
build2021ERROR4file2.java:123ErrorMessage456
build2021ERROR3file3.java:456ErrorMessage789

 

I want to plot a Timechart from the above result. Output should be Top 25 Error message above against time.

I came out with

base search 
| eval file_line = file.":".line
| eval errorList = message.";".file_line.";".level
| where errorList!="null"
| timechart useother=f usenull=f count max(message,file_line,level,applicationBuild) by errorList limit=25

 

The legend of the result will append "count: " in front of the errorList that I cannot remove.

Any idea how can I remove this from the legend?

OR

are there better ways to achieve the same result?

It is because you're calculating two separate statistics for each timepoints and in order to allow you to distinguish between them splunk calls them by the aggregation function you used.

You can add

| rename "count: *" as *

to remove the "count:" part from the column names.
