Splunk App for Enterprise Security: Is it possible to restrict a tstats search to a specific index?

I would like to restrict the tstats search below to a specific index. The search uses the IDS_Attacks datamodel in ES. Is this possible?

|`tstats` count from datamodel=Intrusion_Detection where * IDS_Attacks.ids_type=network IDS_Attacks.category=* IDS_Attacks.severity=* by _time,IDS_Attacks.severity span=10m | chart useother=`useother` count by IDS_Attacks.severity | `drop_dm_object_name("IDS_Attacks")`| sort -count

The datamodel, as used in the CIM standard (on which ES is based), does not depends on the indexes. So, unless you modify the underlying searches or add an index field to the datamodel, it is not possible.
You'd better make sure that your data is not tagged to go in the datamodel.
