I have a query where I'm using
time() - _indextime,
1. but I want to be using what the user has selected from time range picker
2. if time picker local time is different from index time, how to make sure that is cordinated & used instead of what the server time.
Use now()
instead of time()
.
Without seeing your full search, to see what exact calculations are being performed, I can only say that, you can use command addinfo to get the value from timerange picker to your search result. Example,
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd | addinfo | table _time info_min_time info_max_time
The two (out of 4 total) fields that this command adds, info_min_time
which contains the earliest
and info_max_time
contains the latest
value of time range picker. See this for more information on this command.
