Splunk Search

Why is the map command in my search no longer returning results?

Hi,

I would like to get the values of an event that matches a median value of that event. My search is something like this:

index = "index" test_id = "test_id" Scenario = "scenario" | stats median(field) as "SomeName" | map [search index = "index" test_id = "test_id" Scenario = "scenario" AND field = $SomeName$ | stats values by test_id ]

it used to work before, but for some reason it is not now. Please help.

You may be able to get your results using just a subsearch, like this

index = "index" test_id = "test_id" Scenario = "scenario"  [search index = "index" test_id = "test_id" Scenario = "scenario" | stats median(field) as field]   | stats values by test_id 

OR avoid the sub-search with this

index = "index" test_id = "test_id" Scenario = "scenario"  | eventstats median(field) as med | where field=med | stats values by test_id
