I'm going to do this the UI way, since it all can be done from there. I'll include a few links as I go through it to blogs or docs we've written that can be used as reference information.
(Also note SOME of this is stuff you've already done I'm sure, I'm just including it here to make it complete)
Starting out -
First, find the calls you want. So in Browse calls up in the enter number(s) area, you'd type in the 4 extensions you want (1234,5678,4444,4321) and also pick incoming, outgoing and other items like that. There's more information about doing this - not that I expect you need it - in our user docs on searching for Numbers and Parties.
Now, how do we know if it was "answered" or not? There's quite a few ways and it sort of depends on exactly what you mean my "was answered". In this example I'm going to define (rather simplistically) any call that ended up in a dest_device_type of unityvm to be not answered, and all others answered. This is probably not going to work for you, but it'll work as an example (and who knows, maybe it will be fine enough given the extensions you want to track!) Other options might be in some cases just "legs>1" because answered calls to those numbers are handled and unanswered ones hop around to other lines/extensions. Sometimes it's a duration and who picked up in combination.
So I add the field dest_device_type to my fields (via field picker in the upper right) so that I can browse these calls and see that indeed, this will work for my field I'll use later to split the calls up by answered vs. unanswered.
Now, near the upper right click "Graph calls over time". All your settings for numbers to search for will come over, and by default it'll be a count of calls over time for those extensions/numbers, in that direction (etc...). So let's do some magic here.
In the advanced field, we're going to use an eval a new field, called "wasAnswered" that is set to "Not Answered" if the dest_device_type is unityvm, and "Answered" otherwise. So type in eval wasAnswered=if(dest_device_type="unityvm", "Answered", "Not Answered") (or copy and paste it, but be SURE to double-check your browser/copy/paste/whatever didn't change those dumb quote (") marks to the "smart" ones!). You can see some examples in a blog we made on using custom fields.
Then, - and this is IMPORTANT - run that search once. Running the search is what actually creates that field.
Now that you've done that, check down in the "over time" drop-down. You can drop that down and way at the bottom (because alphabetical!) is "over wasAnswered"
Pick that and ... that should give you the results you were looking for!
Happy Splunking.
