Splunk Search

time range selection not working on CLI

I'm trying:

splunk search Calling -earliest=06/30/2014:11:40:00 AND -latest=06/30/2014:12:00:00

and i'm not getting results in that time range. I've tried adding _time to earliest and
latest, as I saw in the docs, nothing works. I've tried blanks instead of equal signs.

That's because CLI search doesn't use those options. They are called "earliest_time" and "latest_time", respectively.

yyyy-... doesn't work for me.
-earliest_time=06/30/2014 w/o hh:mm:ss isn't flagged as an
error, but the results include stuff from 06/27.
-earliest_time 2014/...
-earliest_time=2014-....
and such are called "invalid"

Oh hm. When giving the time in the format you provided I'm getting an invalid format error. Try using YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. For instance your earliest time would be "2014-06-30T11:40:00".

like i said in the OP, i've tried adding _time to both
of those, and that doesn't work.
