Different median results: fast-mode vs verbose-mode

[HeinzWaescher]

Hi,

I'm calculating a median. The result is not the same when I change from fast to verbose mode... Is this expected behaviour?

I can't figure out how Splunk calculating median/perc50 either. The result is just a estimated result when there are hundreds of events from your search.

To get the exact median that wont change, I recommend using exactperc50()

Post your search; it depends.

The search is very simple...

 sourcetype=A action=B tag=C AND (field1>0 OR field2>0) AND NOT field3=xyz | stats median(field4)
