# This file contains possible attribute/value pairs for saved search entries in
# savedsearches.conf.  You can configure saved searches by creating your own
# savedsearches.conf.
#
# There is a default savedsearches.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SA-ITOA/default. To
# set custom configurations, place a savedsearches.conf in
# $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SA-ITOA/local/. For examples, see
# savedsearches.conf.example. You must restart Splunk to enable configurations.
