The following macro definition is saved in a Splunk environment:
```
[name="my_macro"]
args = host, index, sourcetype
definition = search index=$index$ host=$host$ sourcetype=$sourcetype$
```
When a user runs `| `my_macro(index=main host=web01 sourcetype=access_combined)``, they receive the error: "Error in 'search' command: Unable to parse the search: Expected '(', found end of command."A Splunk admin has created several macros to simplify complex search commands. One macro, named `time_filter`, is defined as `earliest=-7d@d latest=@d`. The admin also has a saved search that uses this macro. Recently, users have complained that the saved search reports data from the wrong time range: it appears to be showing data from the last 24 hours instead of the last 7 days. The admin inspects the saved search and finds that the search string is:
`index=main | eval days=now() | where days > relative_time(now(), "-7d@d") | `time_filter``
The admin suspects the macro is not being expanded correctly. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?
Drag steps to the numbered slots on the right, or tap a step then tap a slot.

| stats count by host, sourcetype
[dm_acceleration] datamodel = Network_Traffic summary_range = 30d earliest_time = -7d@d
macro definition: eval $field$ = if(isnull($field$), "" , $field$)
Refer to the exhibit. Macro definition: ``` define my_summary($index, $time_range) [search index=$index$ earliest=$time_range$ latest=now | stats count by sourcetype | rename count as total] ``` The macro is called as: ``` | `my_summary(main, -1h)` ```
Refer to the exhibit.
An admin has created a CIM data model for web traffic with the following acceleration configuration:
```
{
"acceleration": {
"enabled": true,
"max_time": "1d",
"earliest_time": "-7d",
"summaries": [
{"period": "5m", "search": "..."},
{"period": "1h", "search": "..."}
]
}
}
```
The admin notices that a search using `| tstats` against this data model only returns results for the past 24 hours, not the full 7 days expected.Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is troubleshooting a macro that is not working. The macro definition is: ``` define current_users() [ | rest /services/authentication/users | table title email ] ``` When the macro is called via `|`current_users()``, an error appears: "Error in '| rest' command: The requested URL was not found."
A large organization uses Splunk to monitor its network infrastructure. They have a single saved search that runs every hour to create a summary index for each of the 50 network device sourcetypes. The saved search uses a macro named `build_network_summary` that accepts two arguments: `sourcetype` and `time_range`. The macro definition is:
```
[build_network_summary]
definition = index=network sourcetype=$sourcetype$ earliest=$time_range$ latest=now | stats count by src_ip, dest_ip, protocol | collect index=network_summary args = sourcetype, time_range iseval = 0 ```
The saved search iterates over the 50 sourcetypes using a separate lookup or list. Recently, the security team noticed that the network_summary index is missing data for certain sourcetypes, specifically those with hyphens in their names (e.g., `cisco-asa`, `juniper-srx`). For other sourcetypes, the summary is complete. The saved search runs without errors in Splunk's job inspector. Which course of action should the administrator take to resolve the issue?
