how to run macro arguments

nivethainspire_
Explorer

I created a macro with 3 arguments in UI as,

sample(3) with definition 'index=shapes sourcetype=rectangle |search $height$ $weight$ $mode$ |.....'

In my search i called the macro as below

sample($height$,$weight$,$mode$)|...|...

I get an error.Can anyone help with exact way of writing this scenario.

You call it EITHER with literals (e.g. "32") or with existing field names (e.g. weight and mode), without the dollar-signs, like this (assuming that you are not running this inside of a dashboard panel where you are trying to access dashboard tokens):

Your base search here | `sample("32",weight,mode)`

you need to call macro with back-ticks
`sample($height$,$weight$,$mode$)`

@nivethainspire_07... You will also have to pass parameters as string to macro...So the tokens should be inside double quotes:

`sample("$height$","$weight$","$mode$")`
