How to find traffic and number of hits per URL in Splunk?

I have been using Splunk as a log monitoring tool but recently got to know that we will get network traffic and number of hits per URL.

For example, I have a URL like the one below and I want to know the total number of hits that occurred over the last week:

https://stackoverflow.com/

What would be the query that I need to write to get the number of hits (count) per day/period of time in Splunk?

I tried this:

"url" | stats sum(linecount) as Total

which is returning >1000 hits count for the last 15 minutes, which is not correct.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

It would be quick and accurate when you mention index, host and site names.

index name = environment of the application like SIT/UAT/QA/pre-prod/production

host name = In which instance application is hosted

site name = in my example it will be https://stackoverflow.com

Query = index="SIT*" host="*host_name*" "https://stackoverflow.com" "/questions" | stats sum(linecount) as Total

by executing above query I can get number of hits for stackoverflow.com/questions url.

The above query has given accurate results and in splunk we do have drop down option to select period of time.
