Dynamic search for multi sources

Hi All,

I need some help in searching,
so I have 1 index but it has multiple sources,

Index = Index1

and within the index, it has few sources

file_2021-05-14.csv
file_2021-05-15.csv
file_2021-05-16.csv

I'd like to make a search that the source will be dynamically depending on today date,

Index=Index1 source = "file_yyyy_mm_dd.csv" 

is this possible?

Thank you!

Can you please try this?

index=index1 [| makeresults | eval source="file_".strftime(now(),"%Y-%m-%d").".csv" | table source]

 

Thanks
