Hi @Sekhar,

what do you mean with "root search"?

you can create a base search (eventually more than one) in the top of your dashboard and call it in each panel, only one for each panel.

Could you share your code (please using the Add/Insert Code panel) and better describe what you need?

Ciao.

<search ID=" start event">

<Query> index=x source= xtype application=xapps<\quer>

 

I am using base query in plannel 

Panael

Serach base=" start event"

Query  | status count   working fine for panel 

 

We have multiple base query index ,source, application same so i need to create one root search for comman search.

Hi @Sekhar,

to have the maximum advantage from a base search you should use a streming command (as stats, or chart, etc...) in the base search itself.

If it isn't possible, as in your case, you have to explicit the fields to use in the panels at the end of the base search using the fields command:

<search ID=" start event">
<Query> 
   index=x source= xtype application=xapps
   | fields <fields used in the panels>
<\Query>

I'll be more detailed if you could share your dashboard code and, please, put it in the using the Add/Insert Code panel.

Then don't use spaces in fields and base_search names.

Ciao.
