I am new to summary indexing, but I've tried to follow the documentation and create a scheduled search that saves the result to a summary index.
The search:
index=my_index source="SomeApp" | sitimechart count by host
This is scheduled to run every 5 minutes and start time is -5m and finish time is now .
On the dashboard I do:
index=summary search_name="Summary - test search" | timechart count by host
This apparently works when searching over a few hours, but when trying to search for more than 5-10 hours, suddenly I get back weird data. Instead of values in the range of 100-1000 I get values in the range of 0-5.
When running the search, values that appear to be valid are shown for some milliseconds and then they are replaced by these 0-5-ish values that make no sense to me.
I guess I am doing something wrong, but not sure what.
Appreciate any help!
[UPDATE]
I did some more testing, and it looks like the correct values are shown when generating preview for the search, but when the final result is shown, I am getting some weird data. To me it looks like some kind of optimization algorithm or something that is applied to the result.
