Splunk Search

Include searched date range in search output?

Hi.

I have a need to include the start and end of the searched-for time range in the search results themselves. Ultimately, my output is a simple table, and it is fine if the start and end time are in each row of output...

So if I ran a search over the range from 1 Oct to 15 Oct, I would want those dates included in the results.

I am using the Stats command immediately following my search, so I tried the following as part of that stats command: first(earliest) AS starttime

(and of course, my fields command then specified "starttime")

Any ideas of what else I might try?

Thanks.

use |addinfo, it will give you the earliest and latest times of of your search time range. You can convert the time from epoch after you've added the fields.

Let me know if you need more information.
