Simple Log Service:GetHistograms

Last Updated:Nov 13, 2024

Queries the distribution of logs that meet the specified search conditions in a Logstore.

Operation description

Usage notes

  • Host consists of a project name and a Simple Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in Host.

  • The time range is evenly divided into subintervals in the responses. If the time range that is specified in the request remains unchanged, the subintervals in the responses also remain unchanged.

  • If the number of logs in a Logstore significantly changes, Simple Log Service cannot predict the number of times that you must call this operation to obtain the complete result. In this case, you must check the value of the progress parameter in the response of each request and determine whether to call this operation one more time to obtain the complete result. Each time you call this operation, the same number of charge units (CUs) are consumed.

  • After a log is written to a Logstore, you can call the GetHistograms or GetLogs operation to query the log after a short latency. The latency of a query varies based on the type of the log. Simple Log Service classifies logs into the following types based on the log time:

    • Real-time data: The difference between the time record in a log and the current time on Simple Log Service is within the interval (-180 seconds,900 seconds]. For example, if a log was generated at 12:03:00, September 25, 2014 (UTC) and Simple Log Service received the log at 12:05:00, September 25, 2014 (UTC), Simple Log Service processes the log as real-time data. After real-time data is written to a Logstore, the data can be queried with a maximum latency of 3 seconds.
    • Historical data: The difference between the time record in a log and the current time on Simple Log Service is within the interval [-604,800 seconds,-180 seconds). For example, if a log was generated at 12:00:00, September 25, 2014 (UTC) and Simple Log Service received the log at 12:05:00, September 25, 2014 (UTC), Simple Log Service processes the log as historical data. This type of log is usually generated in data backfill scenarios.

    After real-time data is written to a Logstore, the data can be queried with a maximum latency of 3 seconds. For 99.9% of queries, the latency is no more than 1 second.

Note Simple Log Service calculates the difference between the log time that is specified by the __time__ field and the receiving time that is specified by the __tag__:__receive_time__ field for each log. The receiving time indicates the time at which Simple Log Service receives the log. If the difference is within the interval (-180 seconds,900 seconds], Simple Log Service processes the log as real-time data. If the difference is within the interval [-604,800 seconds,-180 seconds), Simple Log Service processes the log as historical data.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

The start time of the subinterval. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since the epoch time January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

1409529600
tolongYes

Response parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionExample
headersobject
Serverstring

The name of the server.

nginx
Content-Typestring

The content type of the response body.

application/json
Content-Lengthstring

The content length of the response body.

0
Connectionstring

Indicates whether the connection is persistent. Valid values:

  • close: The connection is non-persistent. A new TCP connection is established for each HTTP request.
  • keep-alive: The connection is persistent. After a TCP connection is established, the connection remains open, and no more time or bandwidth is consumed to establish new connections.
close
Datestring

The time.

x-log-requestidstring

The request ID.

array<object>
object
fromlong

The start time of the subinterval. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since the epoch time January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

The time range that is specified in this operation is a left-closed, right-open interval. The interval includes the start time specified by the from parameter, but does not include the end time specified by the to parameter. If you specify the same value for the from and to parameters, the interval is invalid, and an error message is returned.

1409529600
tolong

The end time of the subinterval. The value is a UNIX timestamp representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since the epoch time January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

The time range that is specified in this operation is a left-closed, right-open interval. The interval includes the start time specified by the from parameter, but does not include the end time specified by the to parameter. If you specify the same value for the from and to parameters, the interval is invalid, and an error message is returned.

1409569200
countlong

The number of logs that are generated within the subinterval.

2
progressstring

Indicates whether the query and analysis results in the subinterval is complete. Valid values:

Complete: The query is successful, and the complete query and analysis results are returned.

Incomplete: The query is successful, but the query and analysis results are incomplete. To obtain the complete results, you must repeat the request.

Complete
