Hello Everyone,

Am creating the dynamic query depending on condition and after that using return command to execute that search query string, below is my search query

   [ | search query which gives me dynamic string.... | return $myquery ]

where $myquery contain index=xyz | stats c(eval(eventtype="myeventtype1")) as "myeventtype1", c(eval(eventtype="myeventtype2")) as "myeventtype2"

but its giving me the error (actually its putting the each eventtype value while executing), is there any way where we can execute this query without any error?

Note: when i execute myquery string manually its perfectly working fine.

Can any on help me here?

Thank you

Why bother with the extra stuff; just do this ( search is a special field name returning from subsearches):

  [ | search query which gives me dynamic string.... | rename myquery AS search ]
