Explanation

When working with nested macros in Splunk, the inner macro should be created first . This ensures that the outer macro can reference and use the inner macro correctly during execution. Here's why this works: Macro Execution Order : Macros are processed in a hierarchical manner. The inner macro is executed first, and its output is then passed to the outer macro for further processing. Dependency Management : If the inner macro does not exist when the outer macro is defined, Splunk will throw an error because the outer macro cannot resolve the inner macro's definition.
