Examples
The following example calculates the logarithm with base values 3, 5, and 10 for each row column’s value and then turns it into a graph with eventstats.
| makeresults count=100
| eval row=1
| accum row
| eval log10=log(row)
| eval log3=log(row, 3)
| eval log5=log(row, 5)
| eventstats count
