How do we index a data file which is an aggregated data for a given day. The data does not contain timestamp.
Splunk gives an error while searching- saying that "Error in IndexScopedSearch: The search failed. More than XXX events found at time t"
I've looked at these forums and found the following link, which tells me its a limitation on Splunk.
Consider the following use-case.
Imagine, you are looking at a stock price data on a day-scale for 6 months. The data file in this case, may contain ticker price for a given day. If the data points are more than 100K, since there is no timestamp, Splunk given the error during search time.
Has anyone figured how to workaround this?
Sounds like a good candidate for a daily summary. This way, you would have one value per day (or one value per hour) --or several values such as avg, max, min, etc.--depending on the level of granularity you want. This could make it easy to see a larger (yearly) timeframe.
