Problem in time query

Hello everyone,

i have this search that uses time range picker and my specific time range is 01/07/2018 to 01/13/2018, and i have a subsearch that time range should be equivalent to the past 4 weeks in my first search query which should be 12/10/2017 to 01/06/2018 .

my problem is i don't know how to get those values and use it in my subsearch's time range (earlist and latest) .

this is PART of my query, please provide me some example on how to solve this problem.

index="lrt_raw" DEVICE_ID=T*
|dedup _raw
|stats sum(TXN_AMT) as "SJT" by date_wday

|join type=inner date_wday [search index=rms report_id=0153A earliest=-28d@d latest=-8d@m

@ygdrassil, please try the the following run anywhere dashboard which uses a dummy search to pick the selected Time input's Earliest Time using predefined search token $job.earliestTime$ (in string time format) and uses <eval> with relative_time and strptime to get earliest time ($subSearchEarliest$) for sub search as the current day 4 weeks ago -4w@d (if you need start of week 4 weeks ago it would be -4w@0w) and for latest time ($subSearchLatest$) select previous day based on earliest time using -1d@d. Please try the run anywhere dashboard and confirm.

<form>
  <label>Time for subsearch from same timepicker</label>
  <search>
    <query>| makeresults
    </query>
    <earliest>$tokTime.earliest$</earliest>
    <latest>$tokTime.latest$</latest>
    <progress>
      <eval token="subSearchEarliest">relative_time(strptime($job.earliestTime$,"%Y/%m/%dT%H:%M:%S"),"-4w@w0")</eval>
      <eval token="subSearchLatest">relative_time(strptime($job.earliestTime$,"%Y/%m/%dT%H:%M:%S"),"-1d@d")</eval>
    </progress>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="time" token="tokTime" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label></label>
      <default>
        <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
        <latest>now</latest>
      </default>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd earliest=$subSearchEarliest$ latest="$subSearchLatest$"
          | stats count by log_level
          | append [|makeresults| fields - _time| eval log_level="INFO",count=0] 
          | dedup log_level
          | eval subSearchEarliestTime=strftime($subSearchEarliest$,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"), subLatestTime=strftime($subSearchLatest$,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")</query>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">20</option>
        <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">0</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

PS: Commands | append [|makeresults| fields - _time| eval log_level="INFO",count=0] | dedup log_level have been added to return at least one row for the demo query to run in case there is no data in _internal index from 4 weeks ago.

Can you try using epoch time. Also in time picker select all time so it will not affect you custom query time:

index="lrt_raw" DEVICE_ID=T* 
earliest=1515263400  latest=1515868200 
|dedup _raw
|stats sum(TXN_AMT) as "SJT" by date_wday
|join type=inner date_wday [search index=rms report_id=0153A earliest=1507746600 latest= 1515263399]
