How to join 2 datamodels searches with different timeranges

[fernandopaixao]

Hi everyone,

I need to join two different searches using different time ranges in the alert search.
Normally the earliest parameter would solve it but the following syntax doesn't work

| datamodel dm-evaluation evaluation search earliest=@d

Do you know how to solve it?

Thank you

Fist of all, I wouldn't use | datamodel because it was recently broken and no longer returns all fields (only the ones in the datamodel). Instead use the macro described here (it will need adjustment because it is hard-coded for CIM):

Then you can use as many time specifier clauses as you can like this:

`SIEMMacro_datamodel(dm-evaluation, dm-evaluation)` evaluation search ((earliest=e1 latest=l1) OR (earliest=e2 latest=l2) OR ... OR (earliest=eZ latest=lZ))

How long are the two search periods?
There is the way that

Time range can be covered two data models,
Search by `summariesonly = t` and `timechart` ,
Create flag (e.g. datamodelA or datamodelB)  ,
Combine the two search results by `append`, 
Select time and data model(flag) by `where`

How about this?
