Splunk Search

How to combine my two searches and render dynamic ranges for a Radial Gauge?

I have a Drop-down box from where I get the type of Device chosen and depending on the chosen device I need to dynamically get the ranges and render it in a Radial Gauge. Then calculate the total devices sold.

The query works for static values like this

source =/opt/data/splunkLogs/order_transaction.log ProductName="$DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$" | dedup OrderId | stats sum(SKUQuantity) as TotalDevices


 <option name="charting.chart.rangeValues">["0","600000","1400000","2000000"]</option>

I can calculate the ranges dynamically using a lookup table and eval,

lookup inventorylookup Devicename as $DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$ OUTPUT AllocTotal | eval y1=round(AllocTotal*0.5, 2) | eval y2=round(AllocTotal*0.8, 2) | eval y3=AllocTotal | gauge count 0 y1 y2 y3

Q1. Now how to I render these ranges on the gauge?
Q2. How do I combine both the search queries into one?

Tried all options to render like this.

<option name="charting.chart.rangeValues">[x, y1, y2, y3]</option>

OR

<option name="charting.chart.rangeValues">[$x$, $y1$, $y2$, $y3$]</option>

Hi Rajendra,
You could create a SearchManager in JS to set tokens, and then use these in your source code to set the ranges.

It might be worth taking a look at them.

I am going with a different approach now. Created a custom search command called dynrange and calling it like below

index=order_activation sourcetype=order_trans ProductName="$DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$" | dedup OrderId | stats sum(SKUQuantity) as TotalDevices | gauge TotalDevices [dynrange __EXECUTE__ None None $DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$]

The search works and does not return any errors, but it is still not rendering the dynamic range on the Radial Gauge. How do I troubleshoot the custom search command, to see if it is returning the right values.

[root@ip-172-31-26-130 bin]# cat dynrange.py
#   Version 4.0
import sys
import splunk.Intersplunk
import csv
import re

(isgetinfo, sys.argv) = splunk.Intersplunk.isGetInfo(sys.argv)

if len(sys.argv) < 3:
    splunk.Intersplunk.parseError("3 Arguments are required")

if isgetinfo:
    splunk.Intersplunk.outputInfo(False, False, False, False, None)

results = splunk.Intersplunk.readResults(None, None, True)

file2 =  '/opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/lookups/inventory.csv'

def searchText(search_text):
    #print "search_text:", search_text
    with open(file2) as fp1:
        root = csv.reader(fp1)
        result = [i for i in root  if re.findall(search_text, i[0])]

    return result

newresult = {}
offset = 0
header = []
#countDev = 0
x = 0
y1 = 0
y2 = 0
y3 = 0
totVolume = 0
search_text = ''

if len(results) > 0:
    search_text = str(sys.argv[4]).strip()
    #countDev = int(sys.argv[2])
    try:
        #tmp1, tmp2, tmp3 = search_text.split("-")
        search_text = search_text.replace("*", "[^-]*")
        result = searchText(search_text)
        #pprint.pprint(result)
        for line in result:
            totVolume = totVolume + int(line[1])
            #print line
            #print line[1]
    except:
        print "wrong search text. *-*-*"

if totVolume == 0:
    totVolume = 40000

y1 = ((totVolume * 50)/100)
y2 = ((totVolume * 80)/100)
y3 = totVolume

print "Device = %s, X = %d, Y1 = %d, Y2 = %d, Y3 = %d" % (search_text, x, y1, y2, y3)

newresult['x'] = 0
header.append('x')
newresult['y1'] = y1
header.append('y1')
newresult['y2'] = y2
header.append('y2')
newresult['y3'] = y3
header.append('y3')

newresults = []

if len(newresult) > 0:
    newresults.append(newresult)

splunk.Intersplunk.outputResults(newresults, None, header)

Sorry, mgmt changed the priority suddenly and I was busy the whole day fixing other stuff. But here is my whole code for this chart. The gauge count is calculated but the ranges are not.

I have tried several permutation and combinations of your answers but never got the ranges.

<panel>

Thanks Mark, I will take a look at this. Can you share some examples if you can?

Hi Rajendra,
Unfortunately I don't have any examples, just know it's possible.

You could also look at using SideviewUtils - looking at it it has a ResultsValueSetter, which I believe you could use to set tokens.

Hi Rajendra, can you share the final query/ setup which worked for you? I'd like to see if this answer works for my setup as well..

I guess you can add the guage ranges in the main search query itself

source =/opt/data/splunkLogs/order_transaction.log ProductName="$DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$" | dedup OrderId | stats sum(SKUQuantity) as TotalDevices | guage TotalDevices [|gentimes start=-1 | lookup inventorylookup Devicename as $DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$ OUTPUT AllocTotal | eval y1=round(AllocTotal*0.5, 2) | eval y2=round(AllocTotal*0.8, 2) | eval y3=AllocTotal | eval rs="0,"+y1+","+y2+","+y3 | fields rs | rename rs as search ]

The subquery would return the guage limits for the main search to use.
This worked for me for a search where I am doing an eval to determine the value for the ranges so I think it should work for inputlookup as well.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Ramdaspr for a quick response.

The gauge data is working but the ranges are not displaying, (its displaying default 1 to 100). The ranges are in a lookup table so it has to be picked only once based on the dropdown selection. The TotalDevices should be calculated for every event, which is it doing now.

What is the result you get when you run the subsearch alone?

|gentimes start=-1 | lookup inventorylookup Devicename as $DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$ OUTPUT AllocTotal | eval y1=round(AllocTotal*0.5, 2) | eval y2=round(AllocTotal*0.8, 2) | eval y3=AllocTotal | eval rs="0,"+y1+","+y2+","+y3 | fields rs

I didnt notice this earlier, but you seem to be rounding the y values to 2 decimal places.. Is that required and can you try the query by rounding it up instead?

|gentimes start=-1 | lookup inventorylookup Devicename as $DEVICE1$-$STORAGE1$-$COLOR1$ OUTPUT AllocTotal | eval y1=round(AllocTotal*0.5, 0) | eval y2=round(AllocTotal*0.8, 0) | eval y3=AllocTotal | eval rs="0,"+y1+","+y2+","+y3 | fields rs

I get rs as 1, when I run the sub-search. You are correct the rounding off is not needed.

you shouldnt be getting rs as 1 since its been concatenated to provide something like 0,1,200,500.
Have you replaced the tokens with the actual data for trying out this query?
