hi

The search below returns me 558 events

 `CPU` 
| stats values(SITE) as SITE count(process_cpu_used_percent)  as "Number of CPU alerts" by host
| rename host as Hostname, SITE as Site | search Hostname=9831

I am doing the same stats in a subsearch and in this case I have 4389 events!

`wire` earliest=-7d latest=now 
| stats last(AP_NAME) as "Access point", last(Building) as "Geolocation building" by host 
| join host type=outer 
    [| `CPU` earliest=-7d latest=now 
    | stats values(SITE) as Site , count(process_cpu_used_percent) as "Number of CPU alerts" by host ] 
| rename host as Hostname | search Hostname=9831

What explain a such difference even if i use the same stats count
What I have to do in order to have the same number of events in the search and in a subsearch?
Unless it is not possible to have the same number of events in the subsearch?
Thanks for your help

In second search you are using earliest=-7d latest=now with macro.

In first search there is no earliest and latest so it will take whatever you set in time filter in search.

Check count for this.

 `CPU` earliest=-7d latest=now
 | stats values(SITE) as SITE count(process_cpu_used_percent)  as "Number of CPU alerts" by host
 | rename host as Hostname, SITE as Site | search Hostname=9831
