I need to have a search that uses:
index="pt_app_siebel" SWEMethod="ReconfigureCXProd" starttime=9/6/2013:00:00:00 latest=now date_wday=monday date_hour=22 | ....
But what I need is that the date_wday
and date_hour
to be determined by the current time. Is there any way to include eval wday=strftime(now(),"%w")
before the end of the time range definition?
You can do that in a subsearch, where the sole purpose of the subsearch is to play around with now()
, so that it can return valid earliest/latest values to the outer search. Since I still do not really understand your requirement, the example below illustrates how you can ensure that on Mondays you'll get logs covering the weekend, but on other days you'll only get yesterdays logs.
sourcetype=blah [search * | head 1 | eval earliest=if(date_wday=monday,"-3d@d", "-1d@d")| return earliest] | rest_of_search
Hope this helps,

feel free to mark it as answered.
ALthough this is not what I asked exactly, it helped me a lot! My problem is solved! THANKS!
No assuming that the search is run at 9:55PM on Thursday, I want it to show all results from 9/6/2013 till now, and that were on Mondays, and at 21h-22h. THE POINT IS, I NEED TO USE THE now() in date_monday. I just can't make it happen
Hi Tiago - just to clarify, assuming this search is run at 9:55PM on a Thurday night, you want to show all results since 9/6/2013 that happened on a Wednesday between 21:00 & 22:00?
