help to improve disk quota

Hi

I use a search wich is enough verbose because it queries on system events base on different tokens

By default all these tokens are put on "*"

index=toto sourcetype="system" site="$Site$" type=$type$ name="$name$"

 I would like to know if there is a solution to reduce the disk quota and the number of events without playing with the timepicker or without playing with tokens?

thanks

What do you mean by disk quota?

If this is to do with the amount of data returned by the primary search, apart from modifying the search criteria, e.g. earliest/latest, and field-based filters (with or without tokens), how else do you imagine this might be specified?

Or do you want to increase the amount of space a user can use?
