How to use different time ranges in sub-queries in savedsearches.conf

I am using a composite query which has join to another query. I need to use a longer time range in the main/outer query and the inner query should have the time range from the dispatch.earliest_time defined in the savedsearches.conf.

Suppose I have the below configurations in savedsearches.conf

cron_schedule = 05,25,45 * * * *
dispatch.earliest_time = -25m@m
dispatch.latest_time = -5m@m
search=index=data_set earliest=-120m@m app= "demo" Status=SUCCESS | join FileName,FilesCount [ search index= data_set app=demo status_message= "not completed"| table FileName,FilesCount] | table FileName,FilesCount, status,_time

Will the above config work?

The below query need to be run for last 2 hours:

index=data_set app= "demo" Status=SUCCESS

The below query need to be run for the savedsearches.conf configurations:

index= data_set app=demo status_message= "not completed" | table FileName,FilesCount

The query can not be changed. Please help me to do this.

This setup will work fine. The explicit timerange in the base search would override the timerange you set for your saved search (the dispatch.*_time values), but it would get applied to subsearch.
