Splunk Search

Firewall logs going into separate index: Why the error "Searching - No results found. Try expanding the time range"?

Hey everyone,

I've got all our firewall logs going into separate index.

When I perform a search just using the index as a value, for example index="sec-firewalls" the results vary quite a bit.

I get nothing for real-time unless I select all time (real-time). Under relative results I get nothing for today. Nothing for last 15 minutes, last 4 hours etc. Again, the only option that works is All time.

When I'm looking at real-time results, it's about 2hr30m behind.

I am using the Splunk Add-on for Cisco ASA for this index.

Anyone able to assist me with what's happening here?

Thanks,

Will

Just wanted to add that I'm in directory of the index itself, inside the latest hot directory I can see it's populating with data.
