Hi,

how can we use timefilter inside staticColumn value,but I am getting error - "[staticColumn] \> [timefilter] \> Can not cast 'datatable' to any of 'filter' "

sample template query :-

timefilter column="time" from="now-24h" to="now"  
| demodata  
| staticColumn "sample" value={timefilter column="time" from="now-24h" to="now"  
| demodata | math "sum(price)"}  
| markdown {getCell "sample"}  
| render

The timefilter function can only be used to filter your dataset by a specific time range. It looks like you are trying to display the difference between your latest timestamp and now, is that correct?

No, I want to calculate count of some other column value for last 24hrs, which i am unable to get through in one "Elasticsearch SQL query" as a source,because of hard limit on row count

@Vartika_Srivastava I am curious on what SQL query did you use and what was the error/limitation you were getting.

Include in your Lucene query or your SQL query something like : @buildTimestamp[now-1d TO now] or @timestamp[now-7d TO now], like for example:

SELECT COUNT(data.result) FROM "devops-jenkins\*\*" WHERE QUERY('(app\_code:9X00) AND (data.buildVariables.NODE\_NAME:Agent\_OS) @buildTimestamp[now-7d TO now]') GROUP BY data.result ORDER BY data.result ASC LIMIT 2
