I want to search for all records where some field value is greater than X where X is some number. A number of searches reference this same value of X. Where can I store that value of X so that I don't have to change all searches that are referencing it when I need to change X to some different value? Namely, I don't want to have to hard code that value.
You can create a macro here Manager » Advanced search » Search macros
Name of the macro - x
Definition of the macro - the value of x (Eg: 5)
In your search
sourcetype=some_sourcetype fieldname > `x`
Sure. You can mark it as answered if that solved your problem 🙂
Ah, thank you much!
