Hello,

I did a chart where compare two timeranges. This is my search:

source="tcp:5543" Service_Type="*" earliest=-0d@d latest=now | multikv | eval ReportKey="today" | append [search source="tcp:5543" Service_Type="*" earliest=-1d@d latest=-0d@d| multikv | eval ReportKey="yesterday" | eval _time=_time+86400] | timechart span=5m count(Service_Type) as "Number of Services"  by ReportKey

But I have the following messages when I launched it :

[subsearch]: Your timerange was substituted based on your search string
Your timerange was substituted based on your search string

But I don't understand where is the problem.

Thx by advance.

Comparing week-over-week results used to a pain in Splunk, with complex date calculations. No more. Now there is a better way.

I wrote a convenient search command called "timewrap" that does it all, for arbitrary time periods.

... | timechart count span=1h | timewrap d

That's it!

Hi LauraBre

usually this is only a information that the time range was set to the time range of your search and not what was chosen with the time picker besides the search box. I was not 100% sure, but I think you can suppress this kind of message somehow.....

yes, you can suppress it, just follow the instruction from here

hope this helps
cheers,
