Getting Data In

What is the difference between the dbinspect command and "_bkt"?

Hello guys,

Could you let me know the difference in terms of buckets between :

| dbinspect *search* and *search* | eval bkt=_bkt | table bkt ?
It looks like dbinspect returns more results and with a wider span. My aim is to remove buckets according to a specific search and timeframe.

Thanks.

Solved by support :

dbinspect take it data from the metadata
_bkt from from the search process.

the metadata can be update when we search but you
will search on your old generation id.

What are you trying to achieve by removing buckets?
You've also only posted a single search query mentioning dbinspect, dbinspect lists buckets on a per-index basis including replicated buckets.
