Hi,
We have a daily run which creates logs which are ingested into Splunk.
I've created a dashboard in Splunk which runs fine if I run it later in the day near the end of the run or after it is finished. All fields populate correctly.
However if I run the reports in the dashboard earlier in the day some of the fields in the tables are blank.
These blank fields show up even if I run the reports for a date range in the past using a dashboard time picker or even if I copy the SPL query out and run it as a standalone report.
I get the feeling it's something to do with the joins I've used in the queries but I can't see why as they are left outer joins and as I mentioned even if I run the reports for a date range in the past I get the blanks. It seems to be related to when I run the report itself.
For example I've just run the query below and the "LPE_Total" field is blank for 5 of the last 7 days. Also the "LPE_F_Start" and "LPE_F_End" fields are blank for one of the days. If I run this query later on today these fields will be populated correctly.
I assure you all the data is actually there right now!
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
