A number of searches reference this same value of X. Where can I store that value of X so that I don't have to change all searches that are referencing it when I need to change X to some different value? Namely, I don't want to have to hard code that value.</P> Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:51:03 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80247#M20288 RVDowning 2013-10-02T19:51:03Z Re: Where to store a variable value https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80248#M20289 <P>You can create a macro here Manager » Advanced search » Search macros</P> <P>Name of the macro - x</P> <P>Definition of the macro - the value of x (Eg: 5)</P> <P>In your search <PRE>sourcetype=some_sourcetype fieldname &gt; `x`</PRE></P> Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:11:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80248#M20289 pradeepkumarg 2013-10-02T20:11:39Z Re: Where to store a variable value https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80249#M20290 <P>Ah, thank you much!</P> Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:19:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80249#M20290 RVDowning 2013-10-02T20:19:36Z Re: Where to store a variable value https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Where-to-store-a-variable-value/m-p/80250#M20291 <P>Sure.
