This query is monitoring if files exist in folder (folder should be empty). Problem is that during weekend files from that folder are not picked up. So if i transfer query to a dashboard it would show false alert (because it is normal that files are waiting in folder during weekend). Question is:<BR /> Can i set up a time for dashboard query to ignore saturday and sunday, but work on other days, something like cron?</P> <P>Best,<BR /> - F. </P> Thu, 13 Apr 2017 08:40:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/cron-search-in-dashboard-panel/m-p/326807#M97368 Fleshwriter 2017-04-13T08:40:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/cron-search-in-dashboard-panel/m-p/326808#M97369 <P>Hi Fleshwriter,<BR /> you have to insert in your search the exclusion of Saturday and Monday, something like this:</P> <PRE><CODE>your_search NOT (date_wday="saturday" OR date_wday="sunaday") | ... </CODE></PRE> <P>Bye.<BR /> Giuseppe</P> Thu, 13 Apr 2017 10:46:09 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/cron-search-in-dashboard-panel/m-p/326808#M97369 gcusello 2017-04-13T10:46:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/cron-search-in-dashboard-panel/m-p/326809#M97370 <P>Yeah, thanks.
