Splunk Search

How do I set a timerange to be the last full 7 days?

Peter

I have a script that populates the previous day's data early in the following morning. How do I set a time range such that I get results from the past 7 full days? Setting "earliest=-7d" still relies on the current time. So if today is Tuesday the 30th, I want to search from midnight last Tuesday to midnight on the 29th.

Try earliest=-7d@d (snap to the beginning of the day).

You would need to use earliest=-7d@d, but you also need latest=@d to set the end time correctly to the 00:00 today/24:00 yesterday. (I assume that's what you mean by "midnight"; if you meant 00:00 yesterday, then you need latest=-1d@d instead.)
