Create and manage saved searches in ITSI

Create a saved search, also called a scheduled report, in Splunk IT Service Intelligence. You can use these saved searches when importing entities and services.

1. Click Settings > Searches, Reports, and Alerts.
2. Click New Report. When you define a report in Settings, you set it up as a saved search. It appears as a report on the lister page when you're done.
3. Provide a title in the format "IT Service Intelligence - <custom text>". For example, IT Service Intelligence - get my entities. This format is required for the saved search to show up when importing entities and services from a saved search in ITSI.
4. Provide a search string under Search.
5. (Optional) Provide the search Earliest time and Latest time using relative time modifiers. If you want the search to run over all time, leave these fields blank.
6. For App, select IT Service Intelligence (its).
7. Click Save.
8. After the search saves, locate the search on the lister page and click Edit > Edit Permissions.
9. For Display For, select All apps.
10. Click Save.
11. Restart Splunk software to add the search to savedsearches.conf.

The search now appears in the list of predefined ITSI saved searches when you import services and entities.
