Hi @Aj01,

did you tried with the where command?

index=Window_wash
| rex field=_raw "TIME.TAKEN.FOR.(?<Vendor>\w+)"
| rex field=_raw (?<Time_MS>\d+).ms
| timechart span=1m max(Time_MS) AS Time_MS
| where Time_MS>0
| outlier Time_MS

Ciao.

Remember, search is used to compare fields to literals whereas where is used to compare fields to fields or expressions.

Sometimes both work. Sometimes not.

| search Time_MS>0
| where isnotnull(Time_MS)
