Splunk Search

Why am I unable to search data from firewall hosts unless I select "All Time" time range?

Splunk Version: 6.4.0
Splunk Build: f2c836328108

We collect data from Cisco Asa firewalls (5). We are able to search data from all the firewalls when I use the time parameter "all time" However when I try to use other time criteria like "last 7 days" or specific dates, the search doesn't work for one of the firewalls. The same search works if I use another firewall. The data is in the index however I don't get results unless I use "All Time"

Have you specified the time zone of your data in props.conf on either the heavy forwarder, or on the indexers (if you're using a universal forwarder)?

Take a look at the "TZ" parameter in props.conf

Hi @dnorman289

Check your internals for a timestamp format related events, you will probably have to specifiy the timestamp format on your props.conf.

What date and time are on the events when you use the "All Time" search? My guess is one of your 5 firewalls has the time off.

When I perform a tcpdump at the indexer I can see the data inbound to the server.
