Before Splunk 5.0.0 , when I had results summarized with stats or timechart, the name of the function was converted using underscores. To call the result back I had to use the "_". This changed with 5.*, to call back you need to use the exact function call.

Example :

  • summary generated with a search like "mysummarysearch"

* | timechart span=1h sum(GB) by source

  • in 4.* to call it back I need

index=summary search_name=mysummarysearch earliest=24h | stats sum(sum_GB_) by source

  • in 5.* to call it back I need

index=summary search_name=mysummarysearch earliest=24h | stats sum(sum(GB)) by source
