Examples
Example 1:
* in log.access | count , avg Bytes Sent | group by url | display avg as Average Bytes in volume format
For each URL in the access log events, show the number of log events and the average of the Bytes Sent column. In the table, replace the avg header with Average Bytes, and show the values in volume format in Bytes (default).
Example 2:
* in log.access | avg time taken | display avg in time format(“SEC”,”MIN”)
In the access log events, calculate the average of the time taken column values, assume that the input value is in seconds, and convert and display it in minutes.
