Federated Search - Metrics index, no data found?

[Stan816]

Hello Splunkers!

I am very exited about the new federated search feature starting the Splunk 8.2 version!
I got it to run with a onPrem development machine and a regular index - works as desired and described.

However, if I try the same procedure with a metrics index as a remote data set, my search
either
index=federated:my_metrix_index
or
|mpreview index=federated:my_metrix_index
do not return any result and there is no error returned.

Is this currently the intended behaviour? I would assume, that the REST endpoint is not yet completely adjusted.

Looking forward to hear fro

It seem like metrics indexes are not supported

@mljdivemaster  Thanks - Reading the docs properly helps!

Hopefully this will be added in the future.
