How do I pass in a default value for a single value chart?
As in I am not looking to search anything for now in the search query.
For example, I just want the chart to display the number 1.10.

Is this possible?

Tried following in the search query but it doesn't work returning no result.

| eval myVal=1.10 | table myVal

Your attempt comes close, but to generate some placeholder result, you need to add the makeresults command in front of it.

So try this:

| makeresults | eval myVal=1.10 | table myVal
