I tried to do the following in a dashboard:
First declare two base searches, the second one using the first one:
<search id="baseSearch1">
<query> [QUERY1] </query>
</search>
<search base="baseSearch1" id="baseSearch2">
<query> [QUERY2] </query>
</search>
<row>
<panel>
<single>
<search base="baseSearch2">
<query> [QUERY3]</query>
</search>
</single>
</panel>
</row>
Hoping to end up with a combined query result for [QUERY1] | [QUERY2] |[QUERY3] . Unfortunately, this did not seem to work. (Splunk 6.3)
However, when click the magnifiyng glass below the dashboard element I'm sent to the search interface with the combined query and the results (!) Suggesting that I might be on the right track to somehow implement a nested base search.
I was wondering whether this was a known (solvable?) issue or perhaps a bug?
