https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Base-Searches-for-Dashboards-using-Splunk-Metrics/m-p/466415#M80344 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>My team recently got metric data into Splunk and I created several dashboards with various drop down tokens for metric names as well as host. My next step was to try and create a logical base search with post processing searches to reduce the amount of concurrent searches running within the panels. I've been having a heck of a time getting a proper base search to work when it struck me:</P> <P>These metric searches on the panels almost always complete in 1 second and there aren't too many metric points being generated per day. Are base searches even worth it for this type of data? I know that base searches is a best practice for dashboards, but these panels still load almost instantly even when concurrent dashboards are being run. Trying to get some potential insight before I go down rabbit holes again to get a base search and post processing searches to work.</P> <P>Appreciate any feedback <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😄</span></P> Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:27:26 GMT splunkninga2 2020-04-03T13:27:26Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Base-Searches-for-Dashboards-using-Splunk-Metrics/m-p/466415#M80344 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>My team recently got metric data into Splunk and I created several dashboards with various drop down tokens for metric names as well as host.
