Hi Team,

I have to set report to run every 5 minutes of windows

Pitching in, but not even 100% sure I understand the problem. When you say,
I have report which run every minute, but job are going in waiting for queue job to start.
Do you mean that if you schedule every 1 min (i.e. cron * * * * *) it doesnt run every minute? What is the runtime of that search? Is runtime of the search less than 1 minute? If no, then it will keep stacking and start falling behind the time.

I have two correlation search and two report , both correlation search are schedule to run windows of 1 minute, and both report are schedule to run 5 min, so need to know is this approach is right

The cron expression controls when the scheduled search will run and is not something invented by splunk; here are 6 tools that you can use to learn about and create schedules:

The Timepicker setting in the Time range field controls the amount/span of data that will be searched, often relative to now (the point in time when the scheduled search runs). If you need Last 5 minutes, you are correct; there is no preset for this in the Presets section so go down to the Relative section and change the 15 number to a 5.

Hi rakesh44,
It's not clear from your image if there are the needed spaces between stars, anyway the cron schedule is: */5 * * * *.

no need of space ,I have to set report to run every 5 minutes of windows

Hi rakesh44,
Sorry I wasn't clear: you should check if in your report cron expression (the field between Schedule and Time range buttons) there are spaces between stars, in other words: it seems */5****, instead it should be */5 * * * *.

yes it is set like that only , do I need to select scheduled window as well ?

[gcusello]

No, you have only tho set (as you did) Run on Cron Schedule, set the correct cron schedule */5 * * * * (putting spaces between star chars), use the time range you need (it's indipendent by cron schedule) and leaving Schedule Priority and Schedule Window as default.

Ciao.
