How to capture older data through Summary Index Populating Search?

Hi

If I have a summary-populating-index search that is scheduled to run daily. Is it possible to index data that is older than a day & goes back about a year through this search?

Thanks for your help.

You can use the backfilling tool:

The script will run searches over the appropriate time range and will back fill the summary index.

Splunk ships with a script, fill_summary_index.py, that does this for you.
