Splunk Search

Why is my column chart not displaying any data even though it is setup correctly?

cdgill

Here is my search query:

index=jenkins* job_name="jenkins-representative-jobs_github_organization/math_utilities/master" event_tag=job_event (type=started OR type=completed)  | dedup build_number | eval build_duration = job_duration - queue_time - 'test_summary.duration' | chart count by build_duration | fields build_number job_duration queue_time test_summary.duration

And here is a link to the chart to get an idea of what I'm seeing. https://imgur.com/a/2HcyE
Basically, the chart template is being created perfectly, but no data is filling it. Any help?

Hi @cdgill,
It's due to permission issue in your automatic lookup- pan_vendor_info_lookup
Change its permission to global :
In UI go to Settings>>Lookup>>Automatic lookups>> change sharing permission of pan_vendor_info_lookup so that it will be available in your query.
Hope this helps!

After your chart command, only field available are build_duration and count. You field command is trying to output fields that doesn't exist hence no chart data is shown. Get rid of last fields command to see some data there (plotting count of events for each value of build_duration.

That does show me some data, but I'm trying to have it show me a breakdown the queue, build, and test times. How can I get those values to show up?

I want time to be on the Y-Axis and the individual build number to be on the X-Axis.

How about this?

index=jenkins* job_name="jenkins-representative-jobs_github_organization/math_utilities/master" event_tag=job_event (type=started OR type=completed)  | dedup build_number | eval build_duration = job_duration - queue_time - 'test_summary.duration' | table build_number build_duration

That pretty much works perfectly thank you! Now my only remaining issue seems to be with test_summary.duration. If I end with this table build_number build_duration queue_time 'test_summary.duration'
everything shows up fine except there are no values in the chart or table for test_summary. However if I remove the single quotes around it all those values will appear, but build_duration will disappear. I assume it has something to do with it being a string for some reason, but I don't know the workaround.
