A dataset object in the example InternalServer data model.

Select

This is an example of a dataset view. These views are generated from dataset objects inside a data model. The provider will use the Splunk APIs to process the following query components; the provider processes other parts of the query client-side in memory.

All columns support server-side processing for the following operators and functions:

• Operators: =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, NOT
• Functions: AVG, SUM, MIN, MAX, COUNT, STDEV, STDEVP, VAR, VARP

LIMIT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and HAVING are also processed server-side. An exception is the case when in the selected columns, there are fields that are not in the GROUP BY, and GROUP BY, criteria, and limiting are handled client-side.

In the case when an unsupported criteria or function is used, all processing will be completed client-side (except selecting specified fields). This is also the case when a SELECT statement has a column that is not in the GroupBy clause.

For example, the provider uses the Splunk APIs to process the following queries.

SELECT Component, Timeendpos as Timeend FROM [AlertsInInternalServer] WHERE Component = 'Saved' OR EventType != '' AND Priority IS NOT NULL AND Linecount NOT IN ('1', '2') ORDER BY Priority DESC LIMIT 5 

SELECT AVG(Suppressed), Priority FROM [AlertsInInternalServer] GROUP BY Priority HAVING AVG(Suppressed) > 0
