I have a stream of timestamped HTTP status codes:
2021-02-09T10:54:00 200 50
2021-02-09T10:57:00 200 35
2021-02-09T11:00:00 200 50
2021-02-09T11:03:00 500 150
2021-02-09T11:06:00 500 350
2021-02-09T11:09:00 500 450
2021-02-09T11:12:00 500 1000
2021-02-09T11:15:00 404 35
2021-02-09T11:18:00 404 50
2021-02-09T11:21:00 200 50
2021-02-09T11:24:00 200 35
2021-02-09T11:27:00 200 50
2021-02-09T11:30:00 200 50
I already managed to setup gnuplot
to group the days:
set xdata time
set ydata time
set format y "%H:%M"
set timefmt "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"
set xrange ["2021-02-08T00:00:00":"2021-02-14T23:59:59"]
plot 'availability.csv' using (timecolumn(1,"%Y-%m-%d")):(timecolumn(1,"%H-%M")):2…
I already found a lot of samples like summing over the day (boxes/ histogram) or marking the point in time per day (point). But none of them match my goal of availability over time.
My goal is to have a bar per day binned to 15min blocks. Each block should be colored according to the max status code, e.g. HTTP.500=red, HTTP.404=yellow, HTTP.200=green (only these 3, no teapot/redirect/spooky ones, and the colors as a sort of traffic light). Y-axis is the hour of the day, x-axis is the day.
gnuplot
?using
clause look like?Interesting challenge. My suggestion would be the following. It's probably not the easiest, but I would say the result looks reasonable. It uses the plotting style with boxxyerror
(see help boxxyerror
).
From your question, I get that you want to have a binning of 15 minutes and display only the color of the maximum status in that interval. Why not showing a histogram of the different states for each interval? For example: if in the interval there are the following HTTP states: 2x 200, 1x 404 and 2x 500. Then the horizontal bar in this interval will be split into 40% green, 20% yellow and 40% red.
What the following code basically does:
smooth freq
(check help smooth
) with adding a little offset of 1,2,3 seconds for the 3 different states.In order to get a better understanding:

The code can certainly be optimized. So, look at it as a starting point...
Code:
### status overview as date/time dependent histograms
