Hi,
i'm using splunk 6.1.1

I made this si- search and scheduled it to run "every hour" at period -1h@m to "now"

..
| where isnotnull(HAS_ERROR_TYPE)
| dedup SID1
| sitimechart span=1h count by HAS_ERROR_TYPE

I've got many overlapping events in Summary index next day.

,"2014-05-25T00:00:00.000+0400",,"Summary Index - USSD","Summary Index - USSD","Found overlap in saved search 'Summary Index - USSD' between search ids: '1402966801.531' and '1402974001.568' from 'Sun May 25 00:00:00 2014' to 'Tue Jun 17 05:00:01 2014'","Sun May 25 00:00:00 2014","Tue Jun 17 05:00:01 2014"

Whats wrong in my search or scheduler?

My opinion will be to avoid using now for summary index searches. The schedule/data you're querying can be achieved by following and may be more accurate.

Search time range:   earliest=-62m@m  latest=-2m@m
Schedule type :  cron
Cron schedule :  1-59/59 * * * *
               ( run every 60 min starting from min 1 [2nd min])

This will run at 2nd minute every hour and consider data for full previous hour.

The settings looks correct to me.

Thanks, i've finally got this settings. Are it correct?

1) Start Time: -1h@h
2) End Time: @h
3) Cron Schedule: 5 ! ! ! !
(!=*, incorrect site formatting)

Yes, definetely.

But I'm upset that si- commands acts as collect command and didn't help to automate filling gaps in summary index.

Are there any trick to construct search to fill all summary index gaps which was a week or a month ago?
