Hi, 
am creation a dashboard using dashboard studio, and i want to run a query with subsearch.
i want to use the time from the global time for sub search and a different time for main search how do i do it ?
i have configured an input field for time with token - global_time

my query looks like this 

index=xyz query1 earliest=global_time.earliest latest=now() [search index=xyz query2 earliest=global_time.earliest latest=global_time.latest]
this is not working - can you suggest how to make this work

Hi @selvaraj4u,

I'm not sure on Dashboard Studio, but with Classic dashboards, you should try:

index=xyz query1 latest=now() [ search index=xyz query2 earliest=global_time.earliest latest=global_time.latest]

In other words, you shoud force the time borders different than Time Picker.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
