How to format results in Splunk to columns instead of rows

Hi there,

I am attempting to chart averages and means for field 'dur' and output these statistics in a column by 'activity'. However, my results keep showing up in the first row only with null values in the other rows.

This is the search I am using:

index="main" earliest="$timerange$" (activity="-call" OR activity="-proxy") | join Correlation_ID[search index="main" desc="$action_value$-*"]| stats count AS "Execution Count #" BY activity | rename activity AS "Individual Service" | eval corID=Correlation_ID

| appendcols[search index="main" activity="-call" earliest="$timerange$" | eval callDur=dur | join Correlation_ID[search index="main" activity="-proxy" | eval proxyDur=dur]
| join Correlation_ID[search index="main" desc="$action_value$-*"] | where isnotnull(callDur) | where isnotnull(proxyDur) | eval diffDur=proxyDur-callDur
| chart avg(callDur) AS "Average Call Time(ms)", avg(diffDur) AS "Average Proxy Time(ms)" BY activity ] | fillnull value=N/A

| appendcols[search index="main" activity="-proxy" earliest="$timerange$" | eval proxyDur=dur | join Correlation_ID[search index="main" activity="-call" | eval callDur=dur]
| join Correlation_ID[search index="main" desc="$action_value$-*"] | where isnotnull(proxyDur)
| where isnotnull(callDur) | eval diffDur=proxyDur-callDur
| chart mean(callDur) AS "Mean Call Time(ms)", mean(diffDur) AS "Mean Proxy Time(ms)" BY activity ] | fillnull value=N/A

| appendcols[search index="main" (activity="-call" OR activity="-proxy") earliest="$timerange$" | join Correlation_ID[search index="main" desc="$action_value$-*"] | chart eval(strftime(max(_time), "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z" )) AS "Last Call (Date/time)" BY activity]
| fields "Individual Service" "Execution Count #" "Average Call Time(ms)" "Mean Call Time(ms)" "Average Proxy Time(ms)" "Mean Proxy Time(ms)" "Last Call (Date/time)"

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Yes

At the end, but I think that there is a limit of 10 columns to switch to files

Check if that's enough for your report

Hello,

Have you tried the transpose command?

It should do the trick

At the end, yes.

[search query] | transpose

If you want to limit the number of rows (default is 5), you can add an integer after transpose.

Hi gfuente,
Where would I transpose in my search query? At the end?

Thanks
