Continuing on from the last recipe, we further improve our understanding of customer activities by now looking at a chart of item views and actual purchases over a given time period. This will allow you to understand if the customers who view an item actually follow through with purchasing the given item.
In the last recipe of this chapter, you will write a Splunk search to chart item views and purchases over a given time period. You will then graphically present this data using a line chart.
To step through this recipe, you will need a running Splunk Enterprise server, with the sample data loaded from Chapter 1, Play Time – Getting Data In. You should be familiar with the Splunk search bar, the time range picker, and the Visualization tab. It is not required, but is advisable, that you complete all the recipes up until this point.
