Abstract

Learn more about the Cortex Query Language avg aggregate comp function.

Syntax
comp avg(<field>) [as <alias>] by <field_1>,<field_2> [addrawdata = true|false as <target field>]
Description

The avg aggregation is a comp function that returns the average value of an integer field, for all records that contain matching values for the fields identified in the by clause.

In addition, you can configure whether the raw data events are displayed by setting addrawdata to either true or false (default), which are used to configure the final comp results. When including raw data events in your query, the query runs for up to 50 fields that you define and displays up to 100 events.

Example

Return the sum of the action_total_download field for all records that have matching values for their actor_process_image_path and actor_process_command_line values. The query returns a maximum of 100 xdr_data records and includes a raw_data column listing the raw data events used to display the final comp results.
