Synopsis

Syntax

loadjob (<sid>|<savedsearch-opt>) [<result-event>] [<delegate>] [<artifact-offset>] [<ignore-running>]

Required arguments

sid
Syntax: <string>
Description: The search ID of the job whose artifacts need to be loaded, for example: 1233886270.2
savedsearch
Syntax: savedsearch="<user-string>:<application-string>:<search-name-string>"
Description: The unique identifier of a savedsearch whose artifacts need to be loaded. A savedsearch is uniquely identified by the triplet {user, application, savedsearch name}, for example: savedsearch="admin:search:my saved search"

Optional arguments

result-event
Syntax: events=<bool>
Description: Controls whether to load the events or the results of a job. Defaults to false (loads results).
delegate
Syntax: job_delegate=<string>
Description: When specifying a savedsearch, this option selects jobs that were started by the given user. Defaults to scheduler.
artifact-offset
Syntax: artifact_offset=<int>
Description: If multiple artifacts are found, this specifies which of those should be loaded. Artifacts are sorted in descending order based on the time that they were started. Defaults to 0.
ignore_running
Syntax: ignore_running=<bool>
Description: Specify whether to ignore matching artifacts whose search is still running. Defaults to true.

Description

The artifacts to load are identified either by the search job id or a scheduled search name and the time range of the current search. If a savedsearch name is provided and multiple artifacts are found within that range the latest artifacts are loaded.

Examples

Example 1: Loads the results of the latest scheduled execution of savedsearch MySavedSearch in the 'search' application owned by admin

| loadjob savedsearch="admin:search:MySavedSearch"

Example 2: Loads the events that were generated by the search job with id=1233886270.2

| loadjob 1233886270.2 events=t
