I am going to set up the same search - for a lot of different hosts.(20)</P> <P>The result of the search is displayed on 2 different dashboards.</P> <P>The search is running every 30 minutes - thus updating the dashboard every 30 minutes.</P> <P>I would like to use the same search - and just reference the different hosts - instead of having 20 saved searches which are the same - only difference is the host name.</P> <P>How do I accomplish this?</P> Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:14:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Using-variable-in-same-search/m-p/34632#M7495 JYTTEJ 2011-12-14T09:14:59Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Using-variable-in-same-search/m-p/34633#M7496 <P>This sounds like a good situation to use a search macro.
