Grafana Loki total number of a specific log message

Question

I am using Grafana Loki and I need to calculate the total number of a certain log message for a specific time interval. For example, I need the total number of log message "some-text" in the period from 12:00:00 to 14:00:00. I just found the following way to count the occurrences of the last minute, something this: count_over_time({container="some-containter"} |= "some-text")[1m] , but i did not found any way to query a specific interval.

I would be very happy if this is possible and someone could help.

Answer 1

If you're using Grafana Explore to query your logs you can do an instant query and use the time range and global variables .

So you can select the time range as seen in the screenshot below and your query would become count_over_time({container="some-containter"} |= "some-text"[$__range])

You can check my example in the Grafana Playground.
