Splunk Search

How to graph only a certain column of timechart?

I'm still a noob to writing splunk searches so please bear with me. 🙂

I have a search that's currently generating 3 columns - but I really just want the last bit (which is the post calculation percentage). I believe I'm going about this completely wrong, as I think I should be doing calculation first, then the timechart at the end.

I was hoping someone could take a look at my existing search statement(s) and help fix it.

search:

index="http_index" cs_uri="http://foo.bar"
| timechart span=1h count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_MISS" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MISS")) AS cache_miss, count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_MEM_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MEM_HIT")) as cache_hit
| eval cache_hit_ratio=(100*cache_hit/(cache_hit+cache_miss))

So, this plots down the 3 numbers: cache_hit, cache_miss, and the calculated ratio percentage between the two. All I want to chart in the timechart is the ratio%. Help? 🙂

looks like this did it:

index="http_index" cs_uri="http://foo.bar" | timechart span=1h count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_MISS" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MISS")) AS cache_miss, count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_MEM_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MEM_HIT")) as cache_hit | eval cache_hit_ratio=(100*cache_hit/(cache_hit+cache_miss)) | timechart span=1h per_hour(cache_hit_ratio)

Might have solved it myself:

index="http_index" cs_uri="http://foo.bar"
| timechart span=1h count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_MISS" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MISS")) AS cache_miss, count(eval(s_cachestatus="CACHE_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_MEM_HIT" OR s_cachestatus="CACHE_REVALIDATED_MEM_HIT")) as cache_hit
| eval cache_hit_ratio=(100*cache_hit/(cache_hit+cache_miss))
| timechart span=1h per_hour(cache_hit_ratio)

Seems to be generating kind of what I want...just going to confirm the #s are right using the per_hour func. 😛
