Splunk Search

Why are data model metrics not showing up with this search?

The following searches work :

| tstats `xxxx_summaries_only` avg(All_Performance.Memory.swap_free) AS swap_free FROM datamodel=COY_Performance  WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory"  AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

| tstats `xxxx_summaries_only` avg(All_Performance.Memory.swap) AS swap FROM datamodel=COY_Performance  WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory"  AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

This doesn’t work

| tstats `xxxx_summaries_only` avg(All_Performance.Memory.swap_used) AS swap_used  FROM datamodel=COY_Performance  WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory"  AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

But via the pivot on the datamodel, I do see metrics from "All_Performance.Memory.swap_used".

Any reason why my search returns nothing for

| tstats `xxxx_summaries_only` avg(All_Performance.Memory.swap_used) AS swap_used  FROM datamodel=COY_Performance  WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory"  AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

Try using values() instead of avg(), to check what values are extracting.
Maybe that field configuration in the datamodel was supposed to be a number but was configured as a string?

Values() doesn't work and the field is configured as number

What do you mean values doesn't work?
What result you get for:

| tstats xxxx_summaries_only values(All_Performance.Memory.swap_used) AS swap_used FROM datamodel=COY_Performance WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory" AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

correct.
tstats xxxx_summaries_only values(All_Performance.Memory.swap_used) AS swap_used FROM datamodel=COY_Performance WHERE nodename="All_Performance.Memory" AND All_Performance.dest="hostname-11"

didn't work

Try to view the table in the pivot, and click "open in search"
Then inspect the search details and look in search.log
You will find the |tstats that was running in the background
