Reporting

Schedule window time range

Hello everyone,

I have a report that runs every 10 minutes and have timerange defined: earliest = -10m@m and latest = @m.
It should cover all data from indexes if scheduler delay is below 1 minute.

But if I set a schedule window to 2 minutes, and if scheduled search is run 2 minutes later (for example 8:42 instead of 8:40) - which timerange this query would cover:
8:30-8:40 or 8:32-8:42?

8:30 - 8:40

Did you document / confirm this definitively?

I haven't been able to reproduce results that skew the timing by that much yet, so I haven't got any useful test results.
