It should still be a valid command. What version of Splunk are you using?

What version of Splunk you're using? Works just fine in Splunk Version 6.5.0 OR any 5/6 version that I've used. It's a search command that is available in search app. Did the permission for this changed and you're executing it from different app then "Search & Reporting"?

From where can I check if the permission for the "gentimes" command has been changed.. can you point me to some default splunk conf file??

I don't have a 6.4.1 instance but I was able to run your search just fine from any app on my 6.5.0 and 6.2.6 machine. Could you check if your role has read permission on this search command ? (From app "Search & Reporting", go to Settings->Advanced search -> Search commands and see if you can see gentimes there)

Thanks somesoni2 ... this helped ... it was disabled in Advanced Search -> Search Commands
