- Manage saved event types.
- Manage search field configurations and search time tags.
Usage details
Review ACL information for an endpoint
To check Access Control List (ACL) properties for an endpoint, append /acl
to the path. For more information see Access Control List in the REST API User Manual.
Authentication and Authorization
Username and password authentication is required for access to endpoints and REST operations.
Splunk users must have role and/or capability-based authorization to use REST endpoints. Users with an administrative role, such as admin
, can access authorization information in Splunk Web. To view the roles assigned to a user, select Settings > Access controls and click Users. To determine the capabilities assigned to a role, select Settings > Access controls and click Roles.
App and user context
Typically, knowledge objects, such as saved searches or event types, have an app/user context that is the namespace. For more information about specifying a namespace, see Namespace in the REST API User Manual.
Splunk Cloud Platform URL for REST API access
Splunk Cloud Platform has a different host and management port syntax than Splunk Enterprise. Use the following URL for Splunk Cloud Platform deployments. If necessary, submit a support case using the Splunk Support Portal to open port 8089 on your deployment.
https://<deployment-name>.splunkcloud.com:8089
Free trial Splunk Cloud Platform accounts cannot access the REST API.
See Access requirements and limitations for the Splunk Cloud Platform REST API in the the REST API Tutorials manual for more information.

data/transforms/extractions
https://<host>:<mPort>/services/data/transforms/extractions
Access field extraction definitions.
GET
List field extractions.
Request parameters
Pagination and filtering parameters can be used with this method.
Returned values
Name | Description |
---|---|
CAN_OPTIMIZE | Controls whether Splunk software can optimize this extraction out (another way of saying the extraction is disabled).
You might use this when you have field discovery turned off--it ensures that certain fields are always discovered. Splunk software only disables an extraction if it can determine that none of the fields identified by the extraction is ever needed for the successful evaluation of a search. |
CLEAN_KEYS | If set to true, Splunk software "cleans" the field names extracted at search time by replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores and stripping leading underscores. |
DEFAULT_VALUE | Optional attribute for index-time field extractions. Splunk software writes the specified value to DEST_KEY if the specified REGEX fails. |
DEST_KEY | Valid for index-time field extractions, specifies where Splunk software stores the REGEX results. |
FORMAT | This option is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions. However, FORMAT behaves differently depending on whether the extraction is performed at index time or search time.
This attribute specifies the format of the event, including any field names or values you want to add. For details, refer to the documentation for this parameter in the POST operation. |
KEEP_EMPTY_VALS | If set to true, Splunk software preserves extracted fields with empty values. |
LOOKAHEAD | Optional attribute for index-time filed extractions. specifies how many characters to search into an event.
Defaults to 4096. You may want to increase this value if you have event line lengths that exceed 4096 characters (before linebreaking). |
MV_ADD | If Splunk software extracts a field that already exists and MV_ADD is set to true, the field becomes multivalued, and the newly-extracted value is appended. If MV_ADD is set to false, the newly-extracted value is discarded. |
REGEX | The regular expression to operate on your data.
This attribute is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions: REGEX is required for all search-time transforms unless you are setting up a delimiter-based field extraction, in which case you use DELIMS (see the DELIMS attribute description, below). REGEX is required for all index-time transforms. For details, see the documentation for this parameter in the POST operation. |
SOURCE_KEY | The KEY to which Splunk software applies REGEX. |
WRITE_META | Indicates whether to automatically write REGEX to metadata.
This attribute is required for all index-time field extractions except for those where DEST_KEY = meta (see the description of the DEST_KEY attribute). Use instead of DEST_KEY = meta. |
disabled | Indicates if the field transformation is disabled. |
eai:appName | The Splunk app for which the field extractions are defined. For example, the search app. |
eai:userName | The name of the Splunk user who created the field extraction definitions. For example, the admin user. |

POST
Create a new field transformation.
Request parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
CAN_OPTIMIZE | Bool | True | Controls whether Splunk software can optimize this extraction out (another way of saying the extraction is disabled). You might use this when you have field discovery turned off--it ensures that certain fields are *always* discovered. Splunk software only disables an extraction if it can determine that none of the fields identified by the extraction is needed for the successful evaluation of a search.
NOTE: This option should rarely be set to false. |
CLEAN_KEYS | Boolean | True | If set to true, Splunk software "cleans" the field names extracted at search time by replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores and stripping leading underscores. |
disabled | Boolean | Specifies whether the field transformation is disabled. | |
FORMAT | String | This option is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions. However, FORMAT behaves differently depending on whether the extraction is performed at index time or search time.
This attribute specifies the format of the event, including any field names or values you want to add. FORMAT for index-time extractions: Use $n (for example $1, $2, etc) to specify the output of each REGEX match. If REGEX does not have n groups, the matching fails. The special identifier $0 represents what was in the DEST_KEY before the REGEX was performed. At index-time only, you can use FORMAT to create concatenated fields: FORMAT = ipaddress::$1.$2.$3.$4 When you create concatenated fields with FORMAT, "$" is the only special character. It is treated as a prefix for regex-capturing groups only if it is followed by a number and only if the number applies to an existing capturing group. So if REGEX has only one capturing group and its value is "bar", then: \t"FORMAT = foo$1" yields "foobar" \t"FORMAT = foo$bar" yields "foo$bar" \t"FORMAT = foo$1234" yields "foo$1234" \t"FORMAT = foo$1\\$2" yields "foobar\\$2" At index-time, FORMAT defaults to <stanza-name>::$1 FORMAT for search-time extractions: The format of this field as used during search time extractions is as follows: \tFORMAT = <field-name>::<field-value>( <field-name>::<field-value>)* \tfield-name = [<string>|$<extracting-group-number>] \tfield-value = [<string>|$<extracting-group-number>] Search-time extraction examples: \tFORMAT = first::$1 second::$2 third::other-value \tFORMAT = $1::$2 You cannot create concatenated fields with FORMAT at search time. That functionality is only available at index time. At search-time, FORMAT defaults to an empty string. | |
KEEP_EMPTY_VALS | Boolean | False | If set to true, Splunk software preserves extracted fields with empty values. |
MV_ADD | Boolean | False | If Splunk software extracts a field that already exists and MV_ADD is set to true, the field becomes multivalued, and the newly-extracted value is appended. If MV_ADD is set to false, the newly-extracted value is discarded. |
name required |
String | The name of the field transformation. | |
REGEX required |
String | Specify a regular expression to operate on your data.
This attribute is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions: \tREGEX is required for all search-time transforms unless you are setting up a delimiter-based field extraction, in which case you use DELIMS (see the DELIMS attribute description, below). \tREGEX is required for all index-time transforms. REGEX and the FORMAT attribute: Name-capturing groups in the REGEX are extracted directly to fields. This means that you do not need to specify the FORMAT attribute for simple field extraction cases. If the REGEX extracts both the field name and its corresponding field value, you can use the following special capturing groups if you want to skip specifying the mapping in FORMAT: _KEY_<string>, _VAL_<string>. For example, the following are equivalent: \tUsing FORMAT: \t\tREGEX = ([a-z]+)=([a-z]+) \t\tFORMAT = $1::$2 \tWithout using FORMAT \t\tREGEX = (?<_KEY_1>[a-z]+)=(?<_VAL_1>[a-z]+) REGEX defaults to an empty string. | |
SOURCE_KEY required |
String | _raw | Specify the KEY to which Splunk software applies REGEX. |

POST
Update a field extraction.
Request parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
REGEX | String | Specify a regular expression to operate on your data.
This attribute is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions: \tREGEX is required for all search-time transforms unless you are setting up a delimiter-based field extraction, in which case you use DELIMS (see the DELIMS attribute description, below). \tREGEX is required for all index-time transforms. REGEX and the FORMAT attribute: Name-capturing groups in the REGEX are extracted directly to fields. This means that you do not need to specify the FORMAT attribute for simple field extraction cases. If the REGEX extracts both the field name and its corresponding field value, you can use the following special capturing groups if you want to skip specifying the mapping in FORMAT: _KEY_<string>, _VAL_<string>. For example, the following are equivalent: \tUsing FORMAT: \t\tREGEX = ([a-z]+)=([a-z]+) \t\tFORMAT = $1::$2 \tWithout using FORMAT \t\tREGEX = (?<_KEY_1>[a-z]+)=(?<_VAL_1>[a-z]+) REGEX defaults to an empty string. | ||
SOURCE_KEY | String | _raw | Specify the KEY to which Splunk software applies REGEX. | |
CAN_OPTIMIZE | Bool | True | Controls whether Splunk software can optimize this extraction out (another way of saying the extraction is disabled). You might use this when you have field discovery turned off--it ensures that certain fields are *always* discovered. Splunk software only disables an extraction if it can determine that none of the fields identified by the extraction is needed for the successful evaluation of a search.
NOTE: This option should rarely be set to false. | |
CLEAN_KEYS | Boolean | True | If set to true, Splunk software "cleans" the field names extracted at search time by replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores and stripping leading underscores. | |
FORMAT | String | This option is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions. However, FORMAT behaves differently depending on whether the extraction is performed at index time or search time.
This attribute specifies the format of the event, including any field names or values you want to add. FORMAT for index-time extractions: Use $n (for example $1, $2, etc) to specify the output of each REGEX match. If REGEX does not have n groups, the matching fails. The special identifier $0 represents what was in the DEST_KEY before the REGEX was performed. At index-time only, you can use FORMAT to create concatenated fields: FORMAT = ipaddress::$1.$2.$3.$4 When you create concatenated fields with FORMAT, "$" is the only special character. It is treated as a prefix for regex-capturing groups only if it is followed by a number and only if the number applies to an existing capturing group. So if REGEX has only one capturing group and its value is "bar", then: \t"FORMAT = foo$1" yields "foobar" \t"FORMAT = foo$bar" yields "foo$bar" \t"FORMAT = foo$1234" yields "foo$1234" \t"FORMAT = foo$1\\$2" yields "foobar\\$2" At index-time, FORMAT defaults to <stanza-name>::$1 FORMAT for search-time extractions: The format of this field as used during search time extractions is as follows: \tFORMAT = <field-name>::<field-value>( <field-name>::<field-value>)* \tfield-name = [<string>|$<extracting-group-number>] \tfield-value = [<string>|$<extracting-group-number>] Search-time extraction examples: \tFORMAT = first::$1 second::$2 third::other-value \tFORMAT = $1::$2 You cannot create concatenated fields with FORMAT at search time. That functionality is only available at index time. At search-time, FORMAT defaults to an empty string. | ||
KEEP_EMPTY_VALS | Boolean | False | If set to true, Splunk software preserves extracted fields with empty values. | |
MV_ADD | Boolean | False | If Splunk software extracts a field that already exists and MV_ADD is set to true, the field becomes multivalued, and the newly-extracted value is appended. If MV_ADD is set to false, the newly-extracted value is discarded. | |
disabled | Boolean | Specifies whether the field transformation is disabled. |

Returned values
Name | Description |
---|---|
CAN_OPTIMIZE | Controls whether Splunk software can optimize this extraction out (another way of saying the extraction is disabled).
You might use this when you have field discovery turned off--it ensures that certain fields are always discovered. Splunk software only disables an extraction if it can determine that none of the fields identified by the extraction is ever needed for the successful evaluation of a search. |
CLEAN_KEYS | If set to true, Splunk software "cleans" the field names extracted at search time by replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores and stripping leading underscores. |
DEFAULT_VALUE | Optional attribute for index-time field extractions. Splunk software writes the specified value to DEST_KEY if the specified REGEX fails. |
DEST_KEY | Valid for index-time field extractions, specifies where Splunk software stores the REGEX results. |
FORMAT | This option is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions. However, FORMAT behaves differently depending on whether the extraction is performed at index time or search time.
This attribute specifies the format of the event, including any field names or values you want to add. For details, refer to the documentation for this parameter in the POST operation for data/transforms/extractions. |
KEEP_EMPTY_VALS | If set to true, Splunk software preserves extracted fields with empty values. |
LOOKAHEAD | Optional attribute for index-time filed extractions. specifies how many characters to search into an event.
Defaults to 4096. You may want to increase this value if you have event line lengths that exceed 4096 characters (before linebreaking). |
MV_ADD | If Splunk software extracts a field that already exists and MV_ADD is set to true, the field becomes multivalued, and the newly-extracted value is appended. If MV_ADD is set to false, the newly-extracted value is discarded. |
REGEX | The regular expression to operate on your data.
This attribute is valid for both index-time and search-time field extractions: REGEX is required for all search-time transforms unless you are setting up a delimiter-based field extraction, in which case you use DELIMS (see the DELIMS attribute description, below). REGEX is required for all index-time transforms. For details, see the documentation for this parameter in the POST operation. |
SOURCE_KEY | The KEY to which Splunk software applies REGEX. |
WRITE_META | Indicates whether to automatically write REGEX to metadata.
This attribute is required for all index-time field extractions except for those where DEST_KEY = meta (see the description of the DEST_KEY attribute). Use instead of DEST_KEY = meta. |
default_match | If min_matches is greater than zero and Splunk software has less than min_matches for any given input, it provides this default_match value one or more times until the min_matches threshold is reached. |
disabled | Specifies whether the lookup definition is disabled. |
eai:appName | The Splunk app for which the lookups are defined. For example, the search app. |
eai:userName | The Splunk user for which the lookups are defined. |
external_cmd | Provides the command and arguments to invoke to perform a lookup. Use this for external (or "scripted") lookups, where you interface with with an external script rather than a lookup table.
This string is parsed like a shell command. The first argument is expected to be a python script located in: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/<app_name>/bin (or ../etc/searchscripts) Presence of this field indicates that the lookup is external and command based. |
fields_list | List of all fields that are supported by the external command. Use this for external (or "scripted") lookups. |
filename | The name of the static lookup table file. |
max_matches | The maximum number of possible matches for each input lookup value.
If the lookup is non-temporal (not time-bounded, meaning the time_field attribute is not specified), Splunk software uses the first <integer> entries, in file order. If the lookup is temporal, Splunk software uses the first <integer> entries in descending time order. Default = 100 if the lookup is not temporal, default = 1 if it is temporal. |
max_offset_secs | For temporal lookups, this is the maximum time (in seconds) that the event timestamp can be later than the lookup entry time for a match to occur. |
min_matches | The minimum number of possible matches for each input lookup value. |
min_offset_secs | For temporal lookups, this is the maximum time (in seconds) that the event timestamp can be later than the lookup entry time for a match to occur. |
time_field | For temporal lookups, this is the field in the lookup table that represents the timestamp. |
time_format | For temporal lookups, this specifies the \\"strptime\\" format of the timestamp field. |
type | Specifies the field extraction type.
Can be either external or file. |
