Need to run the below query for a month

If i run the below query i will get results for the yesterday AVG count.

sourcetype="X"| bin _time span=1s | stats count by logtime | stats avg(count) | eval date=strftime(now()-86400, "%d-%m-%Y") | table date avg(count) | eval 'avg(count)'=round('avg(count)',0) | fields - avg(count)

Output:

date 'avg(count)'
12-05-2020 11
But i want to get the AVG count for a month or 6 months.

Please suggest me to update this query to get the results as expected for 6 months , each day AVG count i would need.

Thanks
Pradeep

The example query computes a single average count over the entire time window and then hard-codes the date to be yesterday. The result says it's for yesterday, but it could be 6 months.

Try timechart, instead.

sourcetype="X" earliest=-6mon@mon 
| bucket span=1s _time
| stats count by _time
| timechart span=1d avg(count) as AvgCount
| eval AvgCount = round(AvgCount, 0)
| table _time AvgCount

Dumb error on my part. You didn't have count field so timechart had nothing to average. Try the modified answer.

now hte AvgCount shwing value but its not correct.
as if run the query for one day the AVGCount will give as 10-14

but here i can see the number above 1k.

example:
_time AvgCount
2020-04-01 782757
2020-04-02 849822

Adjust the span in the bucket command to change how many events get counted and how many counts are averaged.
