Need to find unusual send and receive patterns in huge log file, here is the example:

00:00:01.000 S-001 \<

00:00:01.000 S-002 \<

00:00:01.000 S-003 \<

00:00:01.000 S-004 \<

00:00:01.000 S-005

00:00:01.000 R-005

00:00:01.000 S-006

00:00:01.000 R-006

00:00:01.000 S-007

00:00:01.000 S-008

00:00:01.000 R-008

00:00:01.000 R-007

00:00:01.000 S-009

00:00:01.000 S-010 \<

00:00:01.000 S-011 \<

00:00:01.000 S-012 \<

00:00:01.000 S-013 \<

00:00:01.000 R-009 \<

00:00:01.000 R-010 \<

00:00:01.000 R-011 \<

00:00:01.000 R-012 \<

00:00:01.000 R-013 \<

00:00:01.000 S-014

00:00:01.000 R-014

00:00:01.000 R-001 \<

00:00:01.000 R-002 \<

00:00:01.000 R-003 \<

00:00:01.000 R-004 \<

line show with \< need to detect and show on chart.

FYI1: Duration is not good way to find them because some of them occurred at the exact time.

FYI2: ids are different not in order as i write above like this 98734543 or 53434444

any idea?

Thanks,

Hi @Indeed2000,

How are you ingesting these logs files into Elasticsearch? Can you explain what kind of metrics you want to show on your chat in relation to this log pattern?

How are you inputing the file into Elasticsearch? Are you using Logstash for example? Or simply [uploading a file](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/connect-to-elasticsearch.html#upload-data-kibana)?
