Chart csv data

Question

User531388329 posted

THis should be soooo simple but it isn't - yet. Help!

I have a csv file which has data similar to this:

TIME,COUNTed
2006-11-09 13:51:24,3279
2006-11-09 13:56:24,3285
2006-11-09 14:01:24,3295
2006-11-09 14:06:24,3000.....

I want to simply have a chart that depicts the last ten events in the log similar to

3300 |       x
3200 |X     X
3100 |X     X
3000 |X     X
2900 |X___X__________
         1     6     1     6
         5     5     0     0
         :      :     :      :
         3     3     4     4
         1     1     1     1

Any ideas how to accomplish this?

What are you having trouble with? The query or the chart?
The query should be something along the lines of:

SELECT TOP 10 Time, Count
FROM log
ORDER by Time DESC

The query isn't the issue. It is the chart output format that is causing me grief.

Ok, to expand further.....

If I have the following dataset
TS,Counts,Server
2006-11-14 11:08:06,1,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:08:07,1966,Server-2
2006-11-14 11:10:00,3,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:10:00,1849,Server-2
2006-11-14 11:15:00,1,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:15:00,1436,Server-2
2006-11-14 11:20:00,4,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:20:00,1065,Server-2
2006-11-14 11:25:00,4,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:25:00,818,Server-2
2006-11-14 11:30:00,13,Server-1
2006-11-14 11:30:00,652,Server-2

I would like to see if I can output a chart that would show server-1's count next to server-2's count by TS (timestamp).

When I try working on it I get an error of "Error: Syntax Error: <from-clause>: expecting FROM keyword instead of token 'c:\logparser\test\Chart.gif'"

logparser -i:CSV "SELECT TOP 10 Time, Count INTO c:\logparser\test\Chart.GIF FROM c:\logparser\test\log.csv ORDER by Time DESC" -charttype:bar3d

I had to modify your query to get you further along:

logparser -i:CSV "SELECT TOP 10 TS, Counts INTO c:\logparser\test\Chart.GIF FROM c:\logparser\test\log.csv ORDER by TS DESC" -charttype:bar3d

Which results in this display.
