Hi,

I have a query which returns no results:

index="itsm" sourcetype=incidents | dedup NUMBER sortby OPEN_TIME | search STATUS!=Closed STATUS!=Resolved ASSIGNMENT="MY GROUP"

but when I add chart or stats:

index="itsm" sourcetype=incidents | dedup NUMBER sortby OPEN_TIME | search STATUS!=Closed STATUS!=Resolved ASSIGNMENT="MY GROUP" | chart count

it returns 1 (but not always).

Does someone have an explanation for this and a solution?

Thanks.

Regard, Hans van Straten

My query was wrong. The dedup sorted nothing, because OPEN_TIME is the same. So sorting is different every time, as well as the remaining records after the dedup.

Sorry for taking your time.

Are you fixing your Time Range or is it a Relative Time Range? That could explain the intermittence of 0 and 1 values

Maybe some additional info will help.

I created a dashboard with this query in it. I didn't notice the problem before we used the dashboard.

It's a relative time range of 1 week. But swithing between the 2 queries back and forth didn't show any change in the results. The number of records is also very low. A couple of records per week after filtering on ASSIGNMENT. So I don't expect this to be the problem.

At this moment I don't see the issue using a relative period of 1 week. Just to be sure, I now used a fixed time frame specifying a period from Monday morning until the next Monday morning: it's still there. So a relative period is not the issue.
