Explanation

In Splunk macro definitions, arguments are denoted by wrapping the argument name in dollar signs - for example, $argument$ . When the macro is called with actual values, Splunk substitutes each $argument$ placeholder with the provided value. This is distinct from backtick notation (used to invoke macros) and percent signs or quotes, which have no special meaning in macro argument syntax.
