Search endpoint descriptions
Manage search resources including alerts triggered by searches, Python search command information, saved searches, search results, and scheduled view objects.
Semantic API versioning
Beginning with Splunk Enterprise version 9.0.1 and Splunk Cloud Platform version 9.0.2208, some REST API endpoints are available in multiple versions. The v1 instances of some endpoints are deprecated, and v2 instances of these endpoints are available. Plan to migrate to the v2 instances of each of the following endpoints:
- search/v2/jobs/export
- search/v2/jobs/{search_id}/events
- search/v2/jobs/{search_id}/results
- search/v2/jobs/{search_id}/results_preview
- search/v2/parser
You can address all original v1 endpoints either without a version number or with a v1 in the URI, but you can address v2 endpoints only with a v2 in the URI. Refer to the individual v2 endpoints for examples.
Legacy versioning deprecation
Beginning with Splunk Enterprise 9.0.1, the legacy versioning scheme from Splunk Enterprise 6.1 and lower is deprecated and will be removed in future versions of Splunk Enterprise. REST API endpoint behavior will not vary by Splunk Enterprise product version, but rather by API version only.
Do not include a Splunk Enterprise version number in URIs. Plan to migrate to the semantic versioning scheme with only v1 or v2 specified in URIs.
Avoid versioning endpoints like the following example:
https://localhost:8089/v6.1/services/search/jobs/export
Instead, refer to this v1 endpoint without any version or with v1 only, like the following example:
https://localhost:8089/services/search/jobs/export
https://localhost:8089/services/search/v1/jobs/export
Refer to this v2 endpoint like the following example:
https://localhost:8089/services/search/v2/jobs/export
Locate the source of your deprecated REST calls
If any apps or users in your environment are still using deprecated REST API version 1.0 endpoints, you should identify the source of the calls and transition all apps and users to version 2 instances of those endpoints.
- Identify which apps are making deprecated REST calls by running the following search, which lists the calls to each deprecated endpoint in use by any apps in your environment.
Once you have identified which apps are using the deprecated endpoints, update the apps to make sure that they call version 2 instances of those endpoints instead.index=_internal source=*splunkd*.log "A REST call to the deprecated endpoint" - After you're sure that all apps in your environment have been upgraded to the version 2 REST API endpoints, check whether any users are still calling the deprecated endpoints. Run the following search, which lists the users and deprecated endpoints they are calling.
Now that you know which users are calling deprecated endpoints, let them know that they must upgrade to version 2 instances of those endpoints.index=_internal (sourcetype=splunkd_access) method="GET" | where uri like "%/results_preview?search=%" OR uri like "%/results_preview?%&search=%" OR uri like "%/events?search=%" OR uri like "%/events?%&search=%" OR uri like "%/results?search=%" OR uri like "%/results?%&search=%" OR uri like "%/jobs/export?search=%" OR uri like "%/jobs/export?%&search=%" OR uri like "%/jobs/export%" OR uri like "%/parser%" | table uri, user, useragent
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 URL for REST API access
Splunk Cloud has a different host and management port syntax than Splunk Enterprise. Use the following URL for Splunk Cloud 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 accounts cannot access the REST API.
See Using the REST API in Splunk Cloud in the the Splunk REST API Tutorials for more information.

alerts/metric_alerts
https://<host>:<mPort>/services/alerts/metric_alerts
This endpoint lets you access and create streaming metric alerts.
Authentication and authorization
Only users whose roles have the metric_alerts capability can use this endpoint.
GET
Access streaming metric alert configurations.
Request parameters
None specific to this method. Pagination and filtering parameters can be used with this method.
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| action.<action_name> | Indicates whether the <action_name> is enabled or disabled for a particular metric alert. Valid values for action_name are:
For more information about the alert action options see the |
| action.<action_name>.<parameter> | Overrides the setting defined for an action in the alert_actions.conf file with a new setting that is valid only for the metric alert configuration to which it is applied.
|
| condition | Specifies an alert condition for one or more metric_name and aggregation pairs. The alert conditions can include multiple Boolean operators, eval functions, and metric aggregations. The Splunk software applies this evaluation to the results of the alert search on a regular interval. When the alert condition evaluates to 'true', the alert is triggered. Must reference at least one '<mstats_aggregation>(<metric_name>)' clause in single quotes. The condition can also reference dimensions specified in the groupby setting.
|
| description | Description of the metric alert. |
| filter | Provides one or more Boolean expressions like <dimension_field>=<value> to define the search result dataset to monitor for the alert condition. Does not support subsearches, macros, tags, event types, or time modifiers such as 'earliest' or 'latest'.Combines with the metric_indexes setting to provide the complete search filter for the alert.
|
| groupby | The list of dimension fields, delimited by comma, for the group-by clause of the alert search. This leads to multiple aggregation values, one per group, instead of one single value. |
| label.<label-name> | Arbitrary key-value pairs for labeling this alert. |
| metric_indexes | Specifies one or more metric indexes, delimited by comma. Combines with the filter setting to provide the complete search filter for the alert.
|
| splunk_ui.<label-name> | An arbitrary key-value pair that is automatically generated by the Splunk software for its internal use only. Do not change it. |
| trigger.expires | Sets the period of time that a triggered alert record displays on the Triggered Alerts page. |
| trigger.max_tracked | Specifies the maximum number of instances of this alert that can display in the Triggered Alerts page. When this threshold is passed, the Splunk software removes the earliest instances from the Triggered Alerts page to honor this maximum number. |
| trigger.suppress | Specifies the suppression period to silence alert actions and notifications.

POST
Create a streaming metric alert.
Request parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| action.<action-name> | Boolean | Indicates whether the <action_name> is enabled or disabled for a particular metric alert. Valid values for action_name are:
For more information about the alert action options see the |
| action.<action-name>.<parameter> | String | Override the global setting defined for an <action-name> in the alert_actions.conf file with a new setting that is valid only for the metric alert configuration to which it is applied.
|
| condition required |
Boolean eval expression
|
Specifies an alert condition for one or more metric_name and aggregation pairs. You can set alert conditions that include multiple Boolean operators, eval functions, and metric aggregations. The Splunk software applies this evaluation to the results of the alert search on a regular interval. When the alert condition evaluates to 'true', the alert is triggered. Must reference at least one '<mstats_aggregation>(<metric_name>)' clause in single quotes. The condition can also reference dimensions specified in the groupby setting.
|
| description | String | Provide a description of the streaming metric alert. |
| filter | String | Specify one or more Boolean expressions like <dimension_field>=<value> to define the search result dataset to monitor for an alert condition. Link multiple Boolean expressions with the AND operator. The filter does not support subsearches, macros, tags, event types, or time modifiers such as 'earliest' or 'latest'.This setting combines with the metric_indexes setting to provide the complete search filter for the alert.
|
| groupby | String | Provide a list of dimension fields, delimited by comma, for the group-by clause of the alert search. This results in multiple aggregation values, one per group, instead of one aggregation value. |
| label.<label-name> | String | Provide an arbitrary key-value pair to label or tag this alert. This key-value pair is not used by the Splunk alerting framework. You can design applications that use the alert label when they call the `alerts/metric_alerts` endpoint. |
| metric_indexes required |
String | Specify one or more metric indexes, delimited by comma. Combines with the filter setting to define the search result dataset that the alert monitors for the alert condition. |
| name required |
String | Specify the name of the streaming metric alert. |
| trigger.expires | String | Set the period of time that a triggered alert record displays on the Triggered Alerts page.
Default is 24h. |
| trigger.max_tracked | Number | Specify the maximum number of instances of this alert that can display in the triggered alerts dashboard. When this threshold is passed, the Splunk software removes the earliest jinstances from the dashboard to honor this maximum number. Set to 0 to remove the cap. Defaults to 20. |
| trigger.suppress | String | Define the suppression period to silence alert actions and notifications.

POST
Update the named streaming metric alert.
Request parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| action.<action-name> | Boolean | Indicates whether the <action_name> is enabled or disabled for a particular metric alert. Valid values for <action_name> are:
For more information about the alert action options see the |
| action.<action-name>.<parameter> | String | Override the global setting defined for an <action-name> in the alert_actions.conf file with a new setting that is valid only for the metric alert configuration to which it is applied.
|
| condition required |
Boolean eval expression
|
Specifies an alert condition for one or more metric_name and aggregation pairs. You can set alert conditions that include multiple Boolean operators, eval functions, and metric aggregations. The Splunk software applies this evaluation to the results of the alert search on a regular interval. When the alert condition evaluates to 'true', the alert is triggered. Must reference at least one '<mstats_aggregation>(<metric_name>)' clause in single quotes. The condition can also reference dimensions specified in the groupby setting.
|
| description | String | Provide a description of the streaming metric alert. |
| groupby | String | Provide a list of dimension fields, delimited by comma, for the group-by clause of the alert search. This results in multiple aggregation values, one per group, instead of one aggregation value. |
| filter | String | Specify one or more Boolean expressions like <dimension_field>=<value> to define the search result dataset to monitor for an alert condition. Link multiple Boolean expressions with the 'AND' operator. The filter does not support subsearches, macros, tags, event types, or time modifiers such as 'earliest' or 'latest'.This setting combines with the metric_indexes setting to provide the complete search filter for the alert.
|
| label.<label-name> | String | Provide an arbitrary key-value pair to label or tag this alert. This key-value pair is not used by the Splunk alerting framework. You can design applications that use the alert label when they call the `alerts/metric_alerts` endpoint. |
| metric_indexes required |
String | Specify one or more metric indexes, delimited by comma. Combines with the filter setting to define the search result dataset that the alert monitors for the alert condition. |
| trigger.expires | String | Set the period of time that a triggered alert record displays on the Triggered Alerts page.
Default is 24h. |
| trigger.max_tracked | Number | Specify the maximum number of instances of this alert that can display in the triggered alerts dashboard. When this threshold is passed, the Splunk software removes the earliest instances from the dashboard to honor this maximum number. Set to 0 to remove the cap. Defaults to 20. |
| trigger.suppress | String | Define the suppression period to silence alert actions and notifications.
Use |
Returned values
None.

|
| action.email | Indicates the state of the email action. |
| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here that is encrypted on the next restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.bcc | BCC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.cc | CC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.command | The search command (or pipeline) which is responsible for executing the action.

| dispatch.time_format | Time format string that defines the time format for specifying the earliest and latest time. |
| dispatch.ttl | Indicates the time to live (ttl), in seconds, for the artifacts of the scheduled search, if no actions are triggered. |
| dispatchAs | When the saved search is dispatched using the "saved/searches/{name}/dispatch" endpoint, this setting controls what user that search is dispatched as. Only meaningful for shared saved searches. Can be set to owner or user.
|
| displayview | Defines the default UI view name (not label) in which to load the results. Accessibility is subject to the user having sufficient permissions. |
| durable.backfill_type | Specifies how the Splunk software backfills the lost search results of failed scheduled search jobs. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type. Valid values are auto, time_interval, and time_whole.
|
| durable.lag_time | Specifies the search time delay, in seconds, that a durable search uses to catch events that are ingested or indexed late. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type.
|
| durable.max_backfill_intervals | Specifies the maximum number of cron intervals (previous scheduled search jobs) that the Splunk software can attempt to backfill for this search, when those jobs have incomplete events. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type.
|
| durable.track_time_type | Indicates that a scheduled search is durable and specifies how the search tracks events. A value of _time means the durable search tracks each event by its event timestamp , based on time information included in the event. A value of _indextime means the durable search tracks each event by its indexed timestamp. The search is not durable if this setting is unset or is set to none.
|
| earliest_time | For scheduled searches display all the scheduled times starting from this time (not just the next run time). |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if this search is to be run on a schedule |
| is_visible | Indicates if this saved search appears in the visible saved search list. |
| latest_time | For scheduled searches display all the scheduled times until this time (not just the next run time). |
| listDefaultActionArgs | List default values of actions.*, even though some of the actions may not be specified in the saved search. |
| max_concurrent | The maximum number of concurrent instances of this search the scheduler is allowed to run. |
| next_scheduled_time | Time when the scheduler runs this search again. |
| orphan | If add_orphan_field has been specified in the GET request, indicates whether the search is orphaned.
|
| qualifiedSearch | The exact search string that the scheduler would run. |
| realtime_schedule | Controls the way the scheduler computes the next execution time of a scheduled search. If this value is set to 1, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search execution time on the current time.
If this value is set to 0, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search on the last search execution time. This is called continuous scheduling. See the POST parameter for this attribute for details. |
| request.ui_dispatch_app | A field used by Splunk Web to denote the app this search should be dispatched in. |
| request.ui_dispatch_view | Specifies a field used by Splunk Web to denote the view this search should be displayed in. |
| restart_on_searchpeer_add | Specifies whether to restart a real-time search managed by the scheduler when a search peer becomes available for this saved search.
Note: The peer can be a newly added peer or a peer down and now available. |
| run_n_times | Runs this search exactly the specified number of times. Does not run the search again until the Splunk platform is restarted. |
| run_on_startup | Indicates whether this search runs on startup. If it does not run on startup, it runs at the next scheduled time. Defaults to 0. This parameter should be set to 1 for scheduled searches that populate lookup tables. |
| schedule_priority | Indicates the scheduling priority of a specific search. One of the following values.
[ default | higher | highest ]
* real-Time-Scheduled (realtime_schedule=1). * continuous-Scheduled (realtime_schedule=0).
This is the high-to-low priority order (where RTSS = real-time-scheduled search, CSS = continuous-scheduled search, d = default, h = higher, H = highest). RTSS(H) > CSS(H) > RTSS(h) > RTSS(d) > CSS(h) > CSS(d) Changing the priority requires the search owner to have the Defaults to For more details, see |
| schedule_window | Time window (in minutes) during which the search has lower priority. The scheduler can give higher priority to more critical searches during this window. The window must be smaller than the search period. If set to auto, the scheduler prioritizes searches automatically.
|
| search | Search expression to filter the response. The response matches field values against the search expression. For example:
search=foo matches any object that has "foo" as a substring in a field. search=field_name%3Dfield_value restricts the match to a single field. URI-encoding is required in this example. |
| vsid | The viewstate id associated with the UI view listed in 'displayview'.
Must match up to a stanza in viewstates.conf. |

Use continuous scheduling whenever you enable the summary index option. If set to 1, the scheduler might skip some execution periods to make sure that the scheduler is executing the searches running over the most recent time range. The scheduler tries to execute searches that have realtime_schedule set to 1 before it executes searches that have continuous scheduling (realtime_schedule = 0). |

| realtime_schedule | Controls the way the scheduler computes the next execution time of a scheduled search. If this value is set to 1, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search execution time on the current time.
If this value is set to 0, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search on the last search execution time. This is called continuous scheduling. If set to 0, the scheduler never skips scheduled execution periods. However, the execution of the saved search might fall behind depending on the scheduler load. Use continuous scheduling whenever you enable the summary index option. If set to 1, the scheduler might skip some execution periods to make sure that the scheduler is executing the searches running over the most recent time range. The scheduler tries to execute searches that have realtime_schedule set to 1 before it executes searches that have continuous scheduling (realtime_schedule = 0). |

Splunk recommends that you set run_on_startup to true for scheduled searches that populate lookup tables. |
| schedule_window | Time window (in minutes) during which the search has lower priority. The scheduler can give higher priority to more critical searches during this window. The window must be smaller than the search period. If set to auto, the scheduler prioritizes searches automatically.
|
| search | Search expression to filter the response. The response matches field values against the search expression. For example:
search=foo matches any object that has "foo" as a substring in a field. search=field_name%3Dfield_value restricts the match to a single field. URI-encoding is required in this example. |
| vsid | The viewstate id associated with the UI view listed in 'displayview'.

| earliest_time | String | If the search is scheduled display scheduled times starting from this time | |
| latest_time | String | If the search is scheduled display scheduled times ending at this time | |
| listDefaultActionArgs | Boolean | Indicates whether to list default actions. | |
| add_orphan_field | Boolean | Indicates whether the response includes a boolean value for each saved search to show whether the search is orphaned, meaning that it has no valid owner. When add_orphan_field is set to true, the response includes the orphaned search indicators, either 0 to indicate that a search is not orphaned or 1 to indicate that the search is orphaned. Admins can use this setting to check for searches without valid owners and resolve related issues.
|

|
| action.email | Indicates the state of the email action. |
| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here that is encrypted on the next restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.bcc | BCC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.cc | CC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.command | The search command (or pipeline) which is responsible for executing the action.
Generally the command is a template search pipeline which is realized with values from the saved search. To reference saved search field values wrap them in $, for example to reference the savedsearch name use $name$, to reference the search use $search$. |
| action.email.format | Specify the format of text in the email. This value also applies to any attachments.
Valid values: (plain | html | raw | csv) |

When this value begins with 'http://', it is used verbatim. Note: This means the correct port must be specified if it is not the default port for http or https. This is useful in cases when the Splunk server is not aware of how to construct a url that can be referenced externally, such as SSO environments, other proxies, or when the server hostname is not generally resolvable.

| dispatch.spawn_process | This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Do not use this parameter. Indicates whether a new search process spawns when this saved search is executed. |
| dispatch.time_format | A time format string that defines the time format for specifying the earliest and latest time. |
| dispatch.ttl | Indicates the time to live (ttl), in seconds, for the artifacts of the scheduled search, if no actions are triggered. |
| displayview | Defines the default Splunk Web view name (not label) in which to load the results. Accessibility is subject to the user having sufficient permissions. |
| durable.backfill_type | Specifies how the Splunk software backfills the lost search results of failed scheduled search jobs. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type. Valid values are auto, time_interval, and time_whole.
|
| durable.lag_time | Specifies the search time delay, in seconds, that a durable search uses to catch events that are ingested or indexed late. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type.
|
| durable.max_backfill_intervals | Specifies the maximum number of cron intervals (previous scheduled search jobs) that the Splunk software can attempt to backfill for this search, when those jobs have incomplete events. Applies only to scheduled searches that have a valid setting other than none for durable.track_time_type.
|
| durable.track_time_type | Indicates that a scheduled search is durable and specifies how the search tracks events. A value of _time means the durable search tracks each event by its event timestamp , based on time information included in the event. A value of _indextime means the durable search tracks each event by its indexed timestamp. The search is not durable if this setting is unset or is set to none.

| orphan | If the add_orphan_field parameter is passed in with the GET request, this field indicates whether the search is orphaned.
|
| qualifiedSearch | The exact search command for this saved search. |
| realtime_schedule | Controls the way the scheduler computes the next execution time of a scheduled search. If this value is set to 1, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search execution time on the current time.
If this value is set to 0, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search on the last search execution time. This is called continuous scheduling. See the POST parameter for this attribute for details. |
| request.ui_dispatch_app | A field used by Splunk Web to denote the app this search should be dispatched in. |
| request.ui_dispatch_view | Specifies a field used by Splunk Web to denote the view this search should be displayed in. |

Note: The peer can be a newly added peer or a peer down and now available. |
| run_n_times | Runs this search exactly the specified number of times. Does not run the search again until the Splunk platform is restarted. |
| run_on_startup | Indicates whether this search runs on startup. If it does not run on startup, it runs at the next scheduled time.
Set run_on_startup to true for scheduled searches that populate lookup tables. |
| schedule_priority | Indicates the scheduling priority of a specific search. One of the following values.
[ default | higher | highest ] Raises the scheduling priority of the named search.
* real-Time-Scheduled (realtime_schedule=1). * continuous-Scheduled (realtime_schedule=0).
The high-to-low priority order (where RTSS = real-time-scheduled search, CSS = continuous-scheduled search, d = default, h = higher, H = highest) is: RTSS(H) > CSS(H) > RTSS(h) > RTSS(d) > CSS(h) > CSS(d) Requires the search owner to have the Defaults to For more details, see |
| schedule_window | Time window (in minutes) during which the search has lower priority. The scheduler can give higher priority to more critical searches during this window. The window must be smaller than the search period. If set to auto, the scheduler determines the optimal time window automatically.
|
| search | Search expression to filter the response. The response matches field values against the search expression. For example:
search=foo matches any object that has "foo" as a substring in a field. search=field_name%3Dfield_value restricts the match to a single field. URI-encoding is required in this example. |
| vsid | Defines the viewstate id associated with the UI view listed in 'displayview'.
Must match up to a stanza in viewstates.conf. |

|
| action.summary_index._type" | String | Specifies the data type of the summary index where the Splunk software saves the results of the scheduled search. Can be set to event or metric.
|
| action.summary_index.force_realtime_schedule | Boolean | By default, realtime_schedule is false for a report configured for summary indexing. When set to 1 or True, this setting overrides realtime_schedule. Setting this setting to true can cause gaps in summary data, as a realtime_schedule search is skipped if search concurrency limits are violated.
|
| actions | String | A comma-separated list of actions to enable.
For example: rss,email |
| alert.digest_mode | Boolean | Specifies whether alert actions are applied to the entire result set or on each individual result. Defaults to 1 (true). |
| alert.expires | Number | Valid values: [number][time-unit]
Sets the period of time to show the alert in the dashboard. Defaults to 24h. Use [number][time-unit] to specify a time. For example: 60 = 60 seconds, 1m = 1 minute, 1h = 60 minutes = 1 hour. |

| alert.suppress.group_name | String | Optional setting. Used to define an alert suppression group for a set of alerts that are running over identical or very similar datasets. Alert suppression groups can help you avoid getting multiple triggered alert notifications for the same data. |
| alert.suppress.period | Number | Valid values: [number][time-unit]
Specifies the suppression period. Only valid if alert.suppress is enabled. Use [number][time-unit] to specify a time. For example: 60 = 60 seconds, 1m = 1 minute, 1h = 60 minutes = 1 hour. |
| alert.track | Enum | Valid values: (true | false | auto)
Specifies whether to track the actions triggered by this scheduled search.
|
| alert_comparator | String | One of the following strings: greater than, less than, equal to, rises by, drops by, rises by perc, drops by perc. Used with alert_threshold to trigger alert actions. |
| alert_condition | String | Contains a conditional search that is evaluated against the results of the saved search. Defaults to an empty string.
Alerts are triggered if the specified search yields a non-empty search result list. Note: If you specify an alert_condition, do not set counttype, relation, or quantity. |
| alert_threshold | Number | Valid values are: Integer[%]
Specifies the value to compare (see alert_comparator) before triggering the alert actions. If expressed as a percentage, indicates value to use when alert_comparator is set to "rises by perc" or "drops by perc." |
| alert_type | String | What to base the alert on, overridden by alert_condition if it is specified. Valid values are: always, custom, number of events, number of hosts, number of sources. |
| allow_skew | 0 | <percentage> | <duration> |
Allows the search scheduler to distribute scheduled searches randomly and more evenly over their specified search periods. This setting does not require adjusting in most use cases. Check with an admin before making any updates. When set to a non-zero value for searches with the following cron_schedule values, the search scheduler randomly skews the second, minute, and hour on which the search runs. * * * * * Every minute.
*/M * * * * Every M minutes (M > 0).
0 * * * * Every hour.
0 */H * * * Every H hours (H > 0).
0 0 * * * Every day (at midnight).
When set to a non-zero value for a search that has any other The amount of skew for a specific search remains constant between edits of the search. A value of Percentage Duration Valid duration units:
Examples 100% (for an every-5-minute search) = 5 minutes maximum 50% (for an every-minute search) = 30 seconds maximum 5m = 5 minutes maximum 1h = 1 hour maximum |
| args.* | String | Wildcard argument that accepts any saved search template argument, such as args.username=foobar when the search is search $username$. |
| auto_summarize | Boolean | Indicates whether the scheduler should ensure that the data for this search is automatically summarized. Defaults to 0. |
| auto_summarize.command | String | An auto summarization template for this search. See auto summarization options in savedsearches.conf for more details.
Do not change unless you understand the architecture of saved search auto summarization. |
| auto_summarize.cron_schedule | String | Cron schedule that probes and generates the summaries for this saved search.
The default value is |
| auto_summarize.dispatch.earliest_time | String | A time string that specifies the earliest time for summarizing this search. Can be a relative or absolute time.
If this value is an absolute time, use the dispatch.time_format to format the value. |
| auto_summarize.dispatch.latest_time | String | A time string that specifies the latest time for summarizing this saved search. Can be a relative or absolute time.
If this value is an absolute time, use the dispatch.time_format to format the value. |
| auto_summarize.dispatch.time_format | String | Defines the time format that Splunk software uses to specify the earliest and latest time. Defaults to %FT%T.%Q%:z
|
| auto_summarize.dispatch.ttl | String | Valid values: Integer[p].
Indicates the time to live (ttl), in seconds, for the artifacts of the summarization of the scheduled search. Defaults to 60. |
| auto_summarize.max_disabled_buckets | Number | The maximum number of buckets with the suspended summarization before the summarization search is completely stopped, and the summarization of the search is suspended for auto_summarize.suspend_period. Defaults to 2. |
| auto_summarize.max_summary_ratio | Number | The maximum ratio of summary_size/bucket_size, which specifies when to stop summarization and deem it unhelpful for a bucket. Defaults to 0.1
Note: The test is only performed if the summary size is larger than auto_summarize.max_summary_size. |
| auto_summarize.max_summary_size | Number | The minimum summary size, in bytes, before testing whether the summarization is helpful.
The default value is |
| auto_summarize.max_time | Number | Maximum time (in seconds) that the summary search is allowed to run. Defaults to 3600.
Note: This is an approximate time. The summary search stops at clean bucket boundaries. |
| auto_summarize.suspend_period | String | Time specifier indicating when to suspend summarization of this search if the summarization is deemed unhelpful. Defaults to 24h. |
| auto_summarize.timespan | String | Comma-delimited list of time ranges that each summarized chunk should span. Comprises the list of available granularity levels for which summaries would be available. Does not support 1w timespans.
For example, a timechart over the last month whose granularity is at the day level should set this to |
| cron_schedule | String | Valid values: cron string
The cron schedule to execute this search. For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes. cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. |

search=foo matches any object that has "foo" as a substring in a field. search=field_name%3Dfield_value restricts the match to a single field. URI-encoding is required in this example. |
| vsid | The viewstate id associated with the UI view listed in 'displayview'.
Matches to a stanza in viewstates.conf. |

Request parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| args.* | Arg values to create a saved search is the saved search is a template search.
For example, specify arg.index_name to create the following search:
| ||
| dispatchAs | String | "owner" | "user" | Indicate the user context, quota, and access rights for the saved search. The saved search runs according to the context indicated. |
| dispatch.* | String | Any dispatch.* field of the search that needs to be overridden when running the summary search. | |
| dispatch.adhoc_search_level | String | Use one of the following search modes.
[ verbose | fast | smart ] | |
| dispatch.now | Boolean | Dispatch the search as if the specified time for this parameter was the current time. | |
| force_dispatch | Boolean | Indicates whether to start a new search even if another instance of this search is already running. | |
| now | String | [Deprecated] Use dispatch.now. | |
| replay_speed | Number greater than 0 | Indicate a real-time search replay speed factor. For example, 1 indicates normal speed. 0.5 indicates half of normal speed, and 2 indicates twice as fast as normal.
Use replay_speed with replay_et and replay_lt relative times to indicate a speed and time range for the replay. For example, replay_speed = 10 replay_et = -d@d replay_lt = -@d specifies a replay at 10x speed, as if the "wall clock" time starts yesterday at midnight and ends when it reaches today at midnight. For more information about using relative time modifiers, see Search time modifiers in the Search reference. | |
| replay_et | Time modifier string | Relative "wall clock" start time for the replay. | |
| replay_lt | Time modifier string. | Relative end time for the replay clock. The replay stops when clock time reaches this time. | |
| trigger_actions | Boolean | Indicates whether to trigger alert actions. |

GET
List available search jobs created from the {name} saved search.
Request parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| savedsearch | String triplet consisting of user:app:search_name. The triplet constitutes a unique identifier for accessing saved search history. Passing in this parameter can help you work around saved search access limitations in search head clustered deployments.As an example, the following parameter triplet represents an admin user, the search app context, and a search named Splunk errors last 24 hours.
savedsearch=admin:search:Splunk%20errors%20last%2024%20hours |
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| durableTrackTime | The durable cursor timestamp for the search job, expressed in UNIX Epoch time notation (elapsed time since 1/1/1970).

If durableTrackType=_time, this timestamp is associated with the event timestamp of the events returned by the job.
|
| durableTrackType | Indicates that a scheduled search is durable and specifies how the search tracks events. A value of _time means the durable search tracks each event by its event timestamp , based on time information included in the event. A value of _indextime means the durable search tracks each event by its indexed timestamp. The search is not durable if this setting is unset or is set to none.
|
| earliest_time | The earliest time a search job is configured to start. |
| isDone | Indicates if the search has completed. |
| isFinalized | Indicates if the search was finalized (stopped before completion). |

Request parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| earliest_time required |
String | Absolute or relative earliest time | |
| latest_time required |
String | Absolute or relative latest time |
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| action.email | Indicates the state of the email action. |
| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here that is encrypted on the next platform restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.pdfview | The name of the view to deliver if sendpdf is enabled. |
| action.email.subject | Specifies an email subject.
Defaults to SplunkAlert-<savedsearchname>. |
| action.email.to | List of recipient email addresses. Required if this search is scheduled and the email alert action is enabled. |
| action.summary_index | The state of the summary index action. |
| action.summary_index._name | Specifies the name of the summary index where the results of the scheduled search are saved.
Defaults to "summary." |
| actions | Actions triggered by this alert. |
| alert.digest_mode | Indicates if alert actions are applied to the entire result set or to each individual result. |
| alert.expires | Sets the period of time to show the alert in the dashboard. Defaults to 24h.
Uses [number][time-unit] to specify a time. For example: 60 = 60 seconds, 1m = 1 minute, 1h = 60 minutes = 1 hour. |
| alert.severity | Valid values: (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)
Sets the alert severity level. Valid values are: 1 DEBUG 2 INFO 3 WARN 4 ERROR 5 SEVERE 6 FATAL |
| alert.suppress | Indicates whether alert suppression is enabled for this schedules search. |
| alert.suppress.fields | Fields to use for suppression when doing per result alerting. Required if suppression is turned on and per result alerting is enabled. |
| alert.suppress.period | Specifies the suppression period. Only valid if alert.supress is enabled.
Use [number][time-unit] to specify a time. For example: 60 = 60 seconds, 1m = 1 minute, 1h = 60 minutes = 1 hour. |
| alert.track | Specifies whether to track the actions triggered by this scheduled search.
auto - determine whether to track or not based on the tracking setting of each action, do not track scheduled searches that always trigger actions. true - force alert tracking. false - disable alert tracking for this search. |
| alert_comparator | Valid values are: Integer[%]
Specifies the value to compare (see alert_comparator) before triggering the alert actions. If expressed as a percentage, indicates value to use when alert_comparator is set to "rises by perc" or "drops by perc." |
| alert_condition | A conditional search that is evaluated against the results of the saved search. Defaults to an empty string.
Alerts are triggered if the specified search yields a non-empty search result list. Note: If you specify an alert_condition, do not set counttype, relation, or quantity. |
| alert_threshold | Valid values are: Integer[%]
Specifies the value to compare (see alert_comparator) before triggering the alert actions. If expressed as a percentage, indicates value to use when alert_comparator is set to "rises by perc" or "drops by perc." |
| alert_type | What to base the alert on, overridden by alert_condition if it is specified. Valid values are: always, custom, number of events, number of hosts, number of sources. |
| cron_schedule | The cron schedule to execute this search. For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes.
cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. Valid values: cron string |
| description | Description of the saved search. |
| disabled | Indicates if this saved search is disabled. |
| dispatch.buckets | The maximum number of timeline buckets. |
| dispatch.earliest_time | A time string that specifies the earliest time for this search. Can be a relative or absolute time.
If this value is an absolute time, use the dispatch.time_format to format the value. |
| dispatch.latest_time | A time string that specifies the latest time for this saved search. Can be a relative or absolute time.
If this value is an absolute time, use the dispatch.time_format to format the value. |
| dispatch.lookups | Indicates if lookups are enabled for this search. |
| dispatch.max_count | The maximum number of results before finalizing the search. |
| dispatch.max_time | Indicates the maximum amount of time (in seconds) before finalizing the search |
| earliest_time | For scheduled searches display all the scheduled times starting from this time. |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if this search is to be run on a schedule. |
| is_visible | Indicates if this saved search appears in the visible saved search list. |
| latest_time | A time string that specifies the latest time for this saved search. Can be a relative or absolute time.
If this value is an absolute time, use the dispatch.time_format to format the value. |
| listDefaultActionArgs | List default values of actions.*, even though some of the actions may not be specified in the saved search. |
| max_concurrent | The maximum number of concurrent instances of this search the scheduler is allowed to run. |
| next_scheduled_time | The time when the scheduler runs this search again. |
| qualifiedSearch | The exact search command for this saved search. |
| realtime_schedule | Controls the way the scheduler computes the next execution time of a scheduled search. If this value is set to 1, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search execution time on the current time.
If this value is set to 0, the scheduler bases its determination of the next scheduled search on the last search execution time. This is called continuous scheduling. If set to 0, the scheduler never skips scheduled execution periods. However, the execution of the saved search might fall behind depending on the scheduler load. Use continuous scheduling whenever you enable the summary index option. If set to 1, the scheduler might skip some execution periods to make sure that the scheduler is executing the searches running over the most recent time range. The scheduler tries to execute searches that have realtime_schedule set to 1 before it executes searches that have continuous scheduling (realtime_schedule = 0). |
| request.ui_dispatch_app | A field used by Splunk Web to denote the app this search should be dispatched in. |
| request.ui_dispatch_view | A field used by Splunk Web to denote the app this search should be dispatched in. |
| restart_on_searchpeer_add | Indicates whether to restart a real-time search managed by the scheduler when a search peer becomes available for this saved search.
Note: The peer can be a newly added peer or a peer down and now available. |
| run_on_startup | Indicates whether this search runs on startup. If it does not run on startup, it runs at the next scheduled time.
Splunk recommends that you set run_on_startup to true for scheduled searches that populate lookup tables. |
| scheduled_times | The times when the scheduler runs the search. |
| search | Search expression to filter the response. The response matches field values against the search expression. For example:
search=foo matches any object that has "foo" as a substring in a field. search=field_name%3Dfield_value restricts the match to a single field. URI-encoding is required in this example. |
| vsid | The viewstate id associated with the Splunk Web view listed in 'displayview'.
Matches to a stanza in viewstates.conf. |
Application usage
Specify a time range for the data returned using earliest_time and latest_time parameters.

scheduled/views
https://<host>:<mPort>/services/scheduled/views
Access views scheduled for PDF delivery. Scheduled views are dummy noop scheduled saved searches that email a PDF of a dashboard.
GET
List all scheduled view objects.
Request parameters
Pagination and filtering parameters can be used with this method.
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| action.email | Indicates the state of the email action. |
| action.email.pdfview | Name of the view to send as a PDF. |
| action.email.sendpdf | Indicates whether to create and send the results as a PDF. |
| action.email.sendresults | Indicates whether the search results are included in the email. The results can be attached or inline. |
| action.email.to | List of recipient email addresses. Required if the email alert action is enabled. |
| action.email.ttl | Specifies the minimum time-to-live in seconds of the search artifacts if this action is triggered. If p follows <Integer>, int is the number of scheduled periods. Defaults to 86400 (24 hours).
If no actions are triggered, the artifacts have their ttl determined by dispatch.ttl in savedsearches.conf. Valid values are Integer[p]. |
| cron_schedule | The cron schedule to use for delivering the view. Scheduled views are dummy/noop scheduled saved searches that email a pdf version of a view
For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes. cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. |
| description | Description of this scheduled view object. |
| disabled | Indicates if the scheduled view is disabled. |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if PDF delivery of this view is scheduled. |
| next_scheduled_time | The next time when the view is delivered. |

GET
Access a scheduled view.
Request parameters
None
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| action.email | Indicates the sate of the email action. |
| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here and it is encrypted on the next restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.bcc | "BCC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.cc | CC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.command | The search command (or pipeline) which is responsible for executing the action.
Generally the command is a template search pipeline which is realized with values from the saved search. To reference saved search field values wrap them in $, for example to reference the savedsearch name use $name$, to reference the search use $search$. |
| action.email.format | Specify the format of text in the email. This value also applies to any attachments.<
Valid values: (plain | html | raw | csv) |
| action.email.from | Email address from which the email action originates.
Defaults to splunk@$LOCALHOST or whatever value is set in alert_actions.conf. |
| action.email.hostname | Sets the hostname used in the web link (url) sent in email actions.
This value accepts two forms: hostname (for example, splunkserver, splunkserver.example.com) protocol://hostname:port (for example, http://splunkserver:8000, https://splunkserver.example.com:443) When this value is a simple hostname, the protocol and port which are configured within splunk are used to construct the base of the url. When this value begins with 'http://', it is used verbatim. NOTE: This means the correct port must be specified if it is not the default port for http or https. This is useful in cases when the Splunk server is not aware of how to construct a url that can be externally referenced, such as SSO environments, other proxies, or when the server hostname is not generally resolvable. Defaults to current hostname provided by the operating system, or if that fails "localhost". When set to empty, default behavior is used. |
| action.email.inline | Indicates whether the search results are contained in the body of the email.
Results can be either inline or attached to an email. See action.email.sendresults. |
| action.email.mailserver | Set the address of the MTA server to be used to send the emails.
Defaults to <LOCALHOST> (or whatever is set in alert_actions.conf). |
| action.email.maxresults | Sets the global maximum number of search results to send when email.action is enabled. |
| action.email.maxtime | Specifies the maximum amount of time the execution of an email action takes before the action is aborted. |
| action.email.pdfview | The name of the view to deliver if sendpdf is enabled. |
| action.email.preprocess_results | Search string to preprocess results before emailing them. Defaults to empty string (no preprocessing).
Usually the preprocessing consists of filtering out unwanted internal fields. |
| action.email.reportPaperOrientation | Specifies the paper orientation: portrait or landscape. |
| action.email.reportPaperSize | Specifies the paper size for PDFs. Defaults to letter.
Valid values: (letter | legal | ledger | a2 | a3 | a4 | a5) |
| action.email.sendpdf | Indicates whether to create and send the results as a PDF. |
| action.email.sendresults | Indicates whether to attach the search results in the email.
Results can be either attached or inline. See action.email.inline. |
| action.email.subject | Specifies the email subject.
Defaults to SplunkAlert-<savedsearchname>. |
| action.email.to | List of recipient email addresses. Required if this search is scheduled and the email alert action is enabled. |
| action.email.track_alert | Indicates whether the execution of this action signifies a trackable alert. |
| action.email.ttl | Specifies the minimum time-to-live in seconds of the search artifacts if this action is triggered. If p follows <Integer>, int is the number of scheduled periods. Defaults to 86400 (24 hours).
If no actions are triggered, the artifacts have their ttl determined by dispatch.ttl in savedsearches.conf. Valid values are Integer[p]. |
| action.email.use_ssl | Indicates whether to use SSL when communicating with the SMTP server |
| action.email.use_tls | Indicates whether to use TLS (transport layer security) when communicating with the SMTP server (starttls). |
| cron_schedule | The cron schedule to execute this search. For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes.
cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. Valid values: cron string |
| description | Description of this saved search for this view. |
| disabled | Indicates if the saved search for this view is disabled. |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if this search is to be run on a schedule. |
| next_scheduled_time | The next time when the view is delivered. |

POST
Update a scheduled view.
Request parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action.email.to required |
String | Comma or semicolon separated list of email addresses to send the view to | |
| action.email* | String | Wildcard argument that accepts any email action. | |
| cron_schedule required |
String | The cron schedule to use for delivering the view. Scheduled views are dummy/noop scheduled saved searches that email a pdf version of a view.
For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes. cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. | |
| description | String | User readable description of this scheduled view object | |
| disabled | Boolean | 0 | Whether this object is enabled or disabled |
| is_scheduled required |
Boolean | Whether this pdf delivery should be scheduled | |
| next_scheduled_time | String | The next time when the view is delivered. Ignored on edit, here only for backwards compatability. |
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| action.email | Indicates the status of the email action. |
| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here that is encrypted on the next restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.bcc | BCC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.cc | CC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.command | The search command (or pipeline) which is responsible for executing the action.
Generally the command is a template search pipeline which is realized with values from the saved search. To reference saved search field values wrap them in $, for example to reference the savedsearch name use $name$, to reference the search use $search$. |
| action.email.format | Specify the format of text in the email. This value also applies to any attachments.<
Valid values: (plain | html | raw | csv) |
| action.email.from | Email address from which the email action originates |
| action.email.hostname | Sets the hostname used in the web link (url) sent in email actions.
This value accepts two forms: hostname (for example, splunkserver, splunkserver.example.com) protocol://hostname:port (for example, http://splunkserver:8000, https://splunkserver.example.com:443) When this value is a simple hostname, the protocol and port which are configured within splunk are used to construct the base of the url. When this value begins with 'http://', it is used verbatim. NOTE: This means the correct port must be specified if it is not the default port for http or https. This is useful in cases when the Splunk server is not aware of how to construct an externally referencable url, such as SSO environments, other proxies, or when the server hostname is not generally resolvable. Defaults to current hostname provided by the operating system, or if that fails "localhost". When set to empty, default behavior is used. |
| action.email.inline | Indicates whether the search results are contained in the body of the email.
Results can be either inline or attached to an email. See action.email.sendresults. |
| action.email.mailserver | Set the address of the MTA server to be used to send the emails.
Defaults to <LOCALHOST> (or whatever is set in alert_actions.conf). |
| action.email.maxresults | Sets the maximum number of search results sent using alerts. |
| action.email.maxtime | Specifies the maximum amount of time the execution of an email action takes before the action is aborted. |
| action.email.pdfview | The name of the view to deliver if sendpdf is enabled. |
| action.email.preprocess_results | Search string to preprocess results before emailing them. Defaults to empty string (no preprocessing).
Usually the preprocessing consists of filtering out unwanted internal fields. |
| action.email.reportPaperOrientation | Specifies the paper orientation: portrait or landscape. |
| action.email.reportPaperSize | Specifies the paper size for PDFs. Defaults to letter.
Valid values: (letter | legal | ledger | a2 | a3 | a4 | a5) |
| action.email.sendpdf | Indicates whether to create and send the results as a PDF. |
| action.email.sendresults | Indicates whether to attach the search results in the email.
Results can be either attached or inline. See action.email.inline. |
| action.email.subject | Specifies an email subject.
Defaults to SplunkAlert-<savedsearchname>. |
| action.email.to | List of recipient email addresses. Required if this search is scheduled and the email alert action is enabled. |
| action.email.track_alert | Indicates whether the execution of this action signifies a trackable alert. |
| action.email.ttl | Specifies the minimum time-to-live in seconds of the search artifacts if this action is triggered. If p follows <Integer>, int is the number of scheduled periods. Defaults to 86400 (24 hours).
If no actions are triggered, the artifacts have their ttl determined by dispatch.ttl in savedsearches.conf. Valid values are Integer[p]. |
| action.email.use_ssl | Indicates whether to use SSL when communicating with the SMTP server. |
| action.email.use_tls | Indicates whether to use TLS (transport layer security) when communicating with the SMTP server (starttls). |
| cron_schedule | The cron schedule to execute this search. For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes.
cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. Valid values: cron string |
| description | Description of the saved search for this view. |
| disabled | Indicates if the saved search for this view is disabled. |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if this search is to be run on a schedule. |

| action.email.auth_password | The password to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. Normally this value is set when editing the email settings, however you can set a clear text password here that is encrypted on the next restart.
Defaults to empty string. |
| action.email.auth_username | The username to use when authenticating with the SMTP server. If this is empty string, no authentication is attempted. Defaults to empty string.
Note: Your SMTP server might reject unauthenticated emails. |
| action.email.bcc | BCC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.cc | CC email address to use if action.email is enabled. |
| action.email.command | The search command (or pipeline) which is responsible for executing the action.
Generally the command is a template search pipeline which is realized with values from the saved search. To reference saved search field values wrap them in $, for example to reference the savedsearch name use $name$, to reference the search use $search$. |
| action.email.format | Specify the format of text in the email. This value also applies to any attachments.<
Valid values: (plain | html | raw | csv) |
| action.email.from | Email address from which the email action originates. |
| action.email.hostname | Sets the hostname used in the web link (url) sent in email actions.
This value accepts two forms: hostname (for example, splunkserver, splunkserver.example.com) protocol://hostname:port (for example, http://splunkserver:8000, https://splunkserver.example.com:443) When this value is a simple hostname, the protocol and port which are configured within splunk are used to construct the base of the url. When this value begins with 'http://', it is used verbatim. NOTE: This means the correct port must be specified if it is not the default port for http or https. This is useful in cases when the Splunk server is not aware of how to construct a url that can be externally referenced, such as SSO environments, other proxies, or when the server hostname is not generally resolvable. Defaults to current hostname provided by the operating system, or if that fails "localhost". When set to empty, default behavior is used. |
| action.email.inline | Indicates whether the search results are contained in the body of the email.
Results can be either inline or attached to an email. See action.email.sendresults. |
| action.email.mailserver | Set the address of the MTA server to be used to send the emails.
Defaults to <LOCALHOST> (or whatever is set in alert_actions.conf). |
| action.email.maxresults | Sets the maximum number of search results sent using alerts. |
| action.email.maxtime | Specifies the maximum amount of time the execution of an email action takes before the action is aborted. |
| action.email.pdfview | The name of the view to deliver if sendpdf is enabled. |
| action.email.preprocess_results | Search string to preprocess results before emailing them. Defaults to empty string (no preprocessing).
Usually the preprocessing consists of filtering out unwanted internal fields. |
| action.email.reportPaperOrientation | Specifies the paper orientation: portrait or landscape. |
| action.email.reportPaperSize | Specifies the paper size for PDFs. Defaults to letter.
Valid values: (letter | legal | ledger | a2 | a3 | a4 | a5) |
| action.email.reportServerEnabled | Not supported. |
| action.email.reportServerURL | Not supported. |
| action.email.sendpdf | Indicates whether to create and send the results as a PDF. |
| action.email.sendresults | Indicates whether to attach the search results in the email.
Results can be either attached or inline. See action.email.inline. |
| action.email.subject | Specifies an email subject.
Defaults to SplunkAlert-<savedsearchname>. |
| action.email.to | List of recipient email addresses. Required if this search is scheduled and the email alert action is enabled. |
| action.email.track_alert | Indicates whether the execution of this action signifies a trackable alert. |
| action.email.ttl | Specifies the minimum time-to-live in seconds of the search artifacts if this action is triggered. If p follows <Integer>, int is the number of scheduled periods. Defaults to 86400 (24 hours).
If no actions are triggered, the artifacts have their ttl determined by dispatch.ttl in savedsearches.conf. Valid values are Integer[p]. |
| action.email.use_ssl | Indicates whether to use SSL when communicating with the SMTP server. |
| action.email.use_tls | Indicates whether to use TLS (transport layer security) when communicating with the SMTP server (starttls). |
| action.email.width_sort_columns | Indicates whether columns should be sorted from least wide to most wide, left to right.
Only valid if format=text. |
| cron_schedule | The cron schedule to execute this search. For example: */5 * * * * causes the search to execute every 5 minutes.
cron lets you use standard cron notation to define your scheduled search interval. In particular, cron can accept this type of notation: 00,20,40 * * * *, which runs the search every hour at hh:00, hh:20, hh:40. Along the same lines, a cron of 03,23,43 * * * * runs the search every hour at hh:03, hh:23, hh:43. Splunk recommends that you schedule your searches so that they are staggered over time. This reduces system load. Running all of them every 20 minutes (*/20) means they would all launch at hh:00 (20, 40) and might slow your system every 20 minutes. Valid values: cron string |
| description | Description of the saved search for this view. |
| disabled | Indicates if the saved search for this view is disabled.
Disabled saved searches are not visible in Splunk Web. |
| is_scheduled | Indicates if this search is to be run on a schedule. |
| next_scheduled_time | The next time when the view is delivered. |
Application usage
Specify a time range for the data returned using earliest_time and latest_time parameters.

List search jobs.
For more information about this and other search endpoints, see Creating searches using the REST API in the REST API Tutorial.
GET
Get details of all current searches.
Request parameters
Pagination and filtering parameters can be used with this method.
Returned values
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| cursorTime | The earliest time from which no events are later scanned.
Can be used to indicate progress. See description for |
| custom | Custom job property. (See the search/jobs POST request for an example of how to create a custom property.)
|
| delegate | For saved searches, specifies jobs that were started by the user. Defaults to scheduler. |
| diskUsage | The total amount of disk space used, in bytes. |
| dispatchState | The state of the search. Can be any of QUEUED, PARSING, RUNNING, FINALIZING, PAUSE, INTERNAL_CANCEL, USER_CANCEL, BAD_INPUT_CANCEL, QUIT, FINALIZING, FAILED, DONE. |
| doneProgress | A number between 0 and 1.0 that indicates the approximate progress of the search.
doneProgress = (latestTime – cursorTime) / (latestTime – earliestTime) |
| dropCount | For real-time searches only, the number of possible events that were dropped due to the rt_queue_size (default to 100000). |
| earliestTime | A time string that sets the earliest (inclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search. Can be used to indicate progress. See description for doneProgress.
|
| eventAvailableCount | The number of events that are available for export. |
| eventCount | The number of events returned by the search. |
| eventFieldCount | The number of fields found in the search results. |
| eventIsStreaming | Indicates if the events of this search are being streamed. |
| eventIsTruncated | Indicates if events of the search are not stored, making them unavailable from the events endpoint for the search. |
| eventPreviewableCount | Number of in-memory events that are not yet committed to disk. Returned if timeline_events_preview is enabled in limits.conf.
|
| eventSearch | Subset of the entire search that is before any transforming commands. The timeline and events endpoint represents the result of this part of the search. |
| eventSorting | Indicates if the events of this search are sorted, and in which order.
asc = ascending; desc = descending; none = not sorted |
| isDone | Indicates if the search has completed. |
| isEventPreviewEnabled | Indicates if the timeline_events_preview setting is enabled in limits.conf.
|
| isFailed | Indicates if there was a fatal error executing the search. For example, invalid search string syntax. |
| isFinalized | Indicates if the search was finalized (stopped before completion). |
| isPaused | Indicates if the search is paused. |
| isPreviewEnabled | Indicates if previews are enabled. |
| isRealTimeSearch | Indicates if the search is a real time search. |
| isRemoteTimeline | Indicates if the remote timeline feature is enabled. |
| isSaved | Indicates that the search job is saved, storing search artifacts on disk for 7 days from the last time that the job was viewed or touched. Add or edit the default_save_ttl value in limits.conf to override the default value of 7 days.
|
| isSavedSearch | Indicates if this is a saved search run using the scheduler. |
| isZombie | Indicates if the process running the search is dead, but with the search not finished. |
| keywords | All positive keywords used by this search. A positive keyword is a keyword that is not in a NOT clause. |
| label | Custom name created for this search. |
| latestTime | A time string that sets the latest (exclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search. Can be used to indicate progress. See description for doneProgress.
|
| messages | Errors and debug messages. |
| numPreviews | Number of previews generated so far for this search job. |
| performance | A representation of the execution costs. |
| priority | An integer between 0-10 that indicates the search priority.
The priority is mapped to the OS process priority. The higher the number the higher the priority. The priority can be changed using action parameter for POST search/jobs/{search_id}/control. For example, for the action parameter, specify Note: In *nix systems, non-privileged users can only reduce the priority of a process. |
| remoteSearch | The search string that is sent to every search peer. |
| reportSearch | If reporting commands are used, the reporting search. |
| request | GET arguments that the search sends to splunkd. |
| resultCount | The total number of results returned by the search. In other words, this is the subset of scanned events (represented by the scanCount) that actually matches the search terms. |
| resultIsStreaming | Indicates if the final results of the search are available using streaming (for example, no transforming operations). |
| resultPreviewCount | The number of result rows in the latest preview results. |
| runDuration | Time in seconds that the search took to complete. |
| scanCount | The number of events that are scanned or read off disk. |
| searchEarliestTime | Specifies the earliest time for a search, as specified in the search command rather than the earliestTime parameter. It does not snap to the indexed data time bounds for all-time searches (something that earliestTime/latestTime does). |
| searchLatestTime | Specifies the latest time for a search, as specified in the search command rather than the latestTime parameter. It does not snap to the indexed data time bounds for all-time searches (something that earliestTime/latestTime does). |
| searchProviders | A list of all the search peers that were contacted. |
| sid | The search ID number. |
| statusBuckets | Maximum number of timeline buckets. |
| ttl | The time to live, or time before the search job expires after it completes. |
Application usage
The user ID is implied by the authentication to the call.
Information returned for each entry includes the search job properties, such as eventCount (number of events returned), runDuration (time the search took to complete), and others. The parameters to POST /search/jobs provides details on search job properties when creating a search. Search job properties are also described in Search job properties in the Knowledge Manager Manual.
You can specify optional arguments based on the search job properties to filter the entries returned. For example, specify search=eventCount>100 as an argument to the GET operation to return searches with event counts greater than 100.
The dispatchState property is of particular interest to determine the state of a search, and can contain the following values:
QUEUED PARSING RUNNING FINALIZING DONE PAUSE INTERNAL_CANCEL USER_CANCEL BAD_INPUT_CANCEL QUIT FAILED
This operation also returns performance information for the search.
For more information refer to "View search job properties with the Search Job Inspector" in the Knowledge Manager Manual.
For more information on searches, see the Search Reference.

Request parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| adhoc_search_level | String | Use one of the following search modes.
[ verbose | fast | smart ] If | |
| allow_partial_results | Boolean | true | Indicates whether the search job can proceed to provide partial results if a search peer fails. When set to false, the search job fails if a search peer providing results for the search job fails.
|
| auto_cancel | Number | 0 | If specified, the job automatically cancels after this many seconds of inactivity. (0 means never auto-cancel) |
| auto_finalize_ec | Number | 0 | Auto-finalize the search after at least this many events are processed.
Specify |
| auto_pause | Number | 0 | If specified, the search job pauses after this many seconds of inactivity. (0 means never auto-pause.)
To restart a paused search job, specify unpause as an action to POST search/jobs/{search_id}/control. auto_pause only goes into effect once. Unpausing after auto_pause does not put auto_pause into effect again. |
| custom | String | Specify a custom parameter (see example). | |
| earliest_time | String | Specify a time string. Sets the earliest (inclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search.
The time string can be either a UTC time (with fractional seconds), a relative time specifier (to now) or a formatted time string. Refer to Time modifiers for search for information and examples of specifying a time string. Compare to | |
| enable_lookups | Boolean | true | Indicates whether lookups should be applied to events.
Specifying true (the default) may slow searches significantly depending on the nature of the lookups. |
| exec_mode | Enum | normal | Valid values: (blocking | oneshot | normal)
If set to normal, runs an asynchronous search. If set to blocking, returns the sid when the job is complete. If set to oneshot, returns results in the same call. In this case, you can specify the format for the output (for example, json output) using the output_mode parameter as described in GET search/jobs/export. Default format for output is xml. Does not return the search ID. |
| force_bundle_replication | Boolean | false | Specifies whether this search should cause (and wait depending on the value of sync_bundle_replication) for bundle synchronization with all search peers. |
| id | String | Optional string to specify the search ID (<sid>). If unspecified, a random ID is generated.
| |
| index_earliest | String | Specify a time string. Sets the earliest (inclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search, based on the index time bounds.
The time string can be either a UTC time (with fractional seconds), a relative time specifier (to now) or a formatted time string. Compare to Refer to Time modifiers for search for information and examples of specifying a time string. | |
| index_latest | String | Specify a time string. Sets the latest (exclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search, based on the index time bounds.
The time string can be either a UTC time (with fractional seconds), a relative time specifier (to now) or a formatted time string. Refer to Time modifiers for search for information and examples of specifying a time string. Compare to | |
| indexedRealtime | Boolean | Indicate whether or not to used indexed-realtime mode for real-time searches. | |
| indexedRealtimeOffset | Number | Set disk sync delay for indexed real-time search (seconds). | |
| latest_time | String | Specify a time string. Sets the latest (exclusive), respectively, time bounds for the search.
The time string can be either a UTC time (with fractional seconds), a relative time specifier (to now) or a formatted time string. Refer to Time modifiers for search for information and examples of specifying a time string. Compare to | |
| max_count | Number | 10000 | The number of events that can be accessible in any given status bucket.
Also, in transforming mode, the maximum number of results to store. Specifically, in all calls, |
| max_time | Number | 0 | The number of seconds to run this search before finalizing. Specify 0 to never finalize.
|
| namespace | String | The application namespace in which to restrict searches.
The namespace corresponds to the identifier recognized in the | |
| now | String | current system time | Specify a time string to set the absolute time used for any relative time specifier in the search. Defaults to the current system time.
You can specify a relative time modifier for this parameter. For example, specify If you specify a relative time modifier both in this parameter and in the search string, the search string modifier takes precedence. Refer to Time modifiers for search for details on specifying relative time modifiers. |
| reduce_freq | Number | 0 | Determines how frequently to run the MapReduce reduce phase on accumulated map values. |
| reload_macros | Boolean | true | Specifies whether to reload macro definitions from macros.conf.
Default is true. |
| remote_server_list | String | empty list | Comma-separated list of (possibly wildcarded) servers from which raw events should be pulled. This same server list is to be used in subsearches. |
| replay_speed | Number greater than 0 | Indicate a real-time search replay speed factor. For example, 1 indicates normal speed. 0.5 indicates half of normal speed, and 2 indicates twice as fast as normal.
Use replay_speed with replay_et and replay_lt relative times to indicate a speed and time range for the replay. For example, replay_speed = 10 replay_et = -d@d replay_lt = -@d specifies a replay at 10x speed, as if the "wall clock" time starts yesterday at midnight and ends when it reaches today at midnight. For more information about using relative time modifiers, see Search time modifiers in the Search reference. | |
| replay_et | Time modifier string | Relative "wall clock" start time for the replay. | |
| replay_lt | Time modifier string. | Relative end time for the replay clock. The replay stops when clock time reaches this time. | |
| required_field_list | String | empty list | [Deprecated] Use rf.
A comma-separated list of required fields that, even if not referenced or used directly by the search, is still included by the events and summary endpoints. Splunk Web uses these fields to prepopulate panels in the Search view. |
| reuse_max_seconds_ago | Number | Specifies the number of seconds ago to check when an identical search is started and return the job's search ID instead of starting a new job. | |
| rf | String | Adds a required field to the search. There can be multiple rf POST arguments to the search.
These fields, even if not referenced or used directly by the search, are still included by the events and summary endpoints. Splunk Web uses these fields to prepopulate panels in the Search view. Consider using this form of passing the required fields to the search instead of the deprecated required_field_list. If both rf and required_field_list are provided, the union of the two lists is used. | |
| rt_blocking | Boolean | false | For a real-time search, indicates if the indexer blocks if the queue for this search is full. |
| rt_indexfilter | Boolean | true | For a real-time search, indicates if the indexer prefilters events. |
| rt_maxblocksecs | Number | 60 | For a real-time search with rt_blocking set to true, the maximum time to block.
Specify |
| rt_queue_size | Number | 10000 events | For a real-time search, the queue size (in events) that the indexer should use for this search. |
| search required |
String | The search language string to execute, taking results from the local and remote servers.
Examples:
| |
| search_listener | String | [Disabled]
Registers a search state listener with the search. Use the format: search_state;results_condition;http_method;uri; For example: search_listener=onResults;true;POST;/servicesNS/admin/search/saved/search/foobar/notify; | |
| search_mode | Enum | normal | Valid values: (normal | realtime)
If set to Additionally, if earliest_time and/or latest_time are 'rt' followed by a relative time specifiers then a sliding window is used where the time bounds of the window are determined by the relative time specifiers and are continuously updated based on the wall-clock time. |
| spawn_process | Boolean | true | This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Do not use this parameter. Specifies whether the search should run in a separate spawned process. Default is true. Searches against indexes must run in a separate process. |
| status_buckets | Number | 0 | The most status buckets to generate.
|
| sync_bundle_replication | Boolean | Specifies whether this search should wait for bundle replication to complete. | |
| time_format | String | %FT%T.%Q%:z | Used to convert a formatted time string from {start,end}_time into UTC seconds. The default value is the ISO-8601 format. |
| timeout | Number | 86400 | The number of seconds to keep this search after processing has stopped. |
| workload_pool | String | Specifies the new workload pool where the existing running search should be placed. |
Returned values
| Name | Description |

Application usage
Refer to Creating searches using the REST API for information on using this endpoint and other search endpoints.
The search parameter is a search language string that specifies the search. Often you create a search specifying just the search parameter. Use the other parameters to customize a search to specific needs.
Use the returned (<sid>) in the following endpoints to view and manage the search:
search/jobs/{search_id}: View the status of this search job.
search/jobs/{search_id}/control: Execute job control commands, such as pause, cancel, preview, and others.
search/jobs/{search_id}/events: View a set of untransformed events for the search.
search/jobs/{search_id}/results: View results of the search.
search/jobs/{search_id}/results_preview: Preview results of a search that has not completed
search/jobs/{search_id}/search.log: View the log file generated by the search.
search/jobs/{search_id}/summary: View field summary information
search/jobs/{search_id}/timeline: View event distribution over time.
You can also use the custom attribute to create custom job properties (see example).
For more information on searches, see the Splunk Search Reference.

Application usage
Streaming of results is based on the search string.
For non-streaming searches, previews of the final results are available if preview is enabled. If preview is not enabled, use search/jobs with exec_mode=oneshot.
If your search is too big, considering running it with the search/jobs endpoint, instead of the search/jobs/export endpoint, and using exec_mode=blocking. You'll then get back a search id, and then you can page through the results and request them from the server under your control. This is a better approach for extremely large result sets that need to be chunked.
Example
The following example runs a saved search and passes a variable to it. In this case, the variable is the host field:
$curl -k -u admin:password https://splunkserver:8089/services/search/v2/jobs/export -d search="savedsearch \ MySavedSearch%20host%3Dwolverine*"
This request creates a saved search named "MySavedSearch" which contains the following result:
"index=main $host$ | head 100"
search/jobs/export (deprecated)
https://<host>:<mPort>/services/search/jobs/export
Stream search results as they become available.
The GET and POST operations on this endpoint perform a search identical to a POST to search/jobs. For parameter and returned value descriptions, see search/jobs.
This endpoint is deprecated as of Splunk Enterprise 9.0.1. Use the v2 instance of this endpoint instead.
GET
Performs a search identical to POST search/jobs

Application usage
Performs a search identical to POST search/jobs, except the search streams results as they become available. Streaming of results is based on the search string.
For non-streaming searches, previews of the final results are available if preview is enabled. If preview is not enabled, use the search/jobs endpoint with exec_mode=oneshot to retrieve results from them.
If the result set returned by a non-streaming search is significantly large, use the search/jobs endpoint with exec_mode=blocking. This approach lets you page through the results and request them from a server under your control.

Application usage
Streaming of results is based on the search string.
For non-streaming searches, previews of the final results are available if preview is enabled. If preview is not enabled, it is better to use search/jobs with exec_mode=oneshot.
If it is too big, you might instead run with the search/jobs (not search/jobs/export) endpoint (it takes POST with the same parameters), maybe using the exec_mode=blocking. You'll then get back a search id, and then you can page through the results and request them from the server under your control, which is a better approach for extremely large result sets that need to be chunked.
Example of how to pass a variable to query when using REST API:
This is an example of running a saved search and passing a variable to it. In this case, the variable is host field:
$curl -k -u admin:password https://splunkserver:8089/services/search/jobs/export -d search="savedsearch \ MySavedSearch%20host%3Dwolverine*"
(use "MySavedSearch" and input variable host=wolverine* )
I have a saved search named "MySavedSearch" the query of the search contains:
"index=main $host$ | head 100"
search/jobs/{search_id}
https://<host>:<mPort>/services/search/jobs/{search_id}
Manage the {search_id} search job.
DELETE
Delete the {search_id} search job.
Request parameters
None
Returned values
None
Application usage
{search_id} is the <sid> field returned from the GET operation for the search/jobs endpoint.
Example request and response
XML Request
curl -k -u admin:pass --request DELETE https://localhost:8089/services/search/jobs/mysearch_02151949
XML Response
<response><messages><msg type='INFO'>Search job cancelled.</msg></messages></response
GET
Get information about the {search_id} search job.
Request parameters
None
Returned values
None
Application usage
The user ID is implied by the authentication to the call.
Information returned includes the search job properties, such as eventCount (number of events returned), runDuration (time the search took to complete), and others. The parameters to POST /search/jobs provides details on search job properties when creating a search. Search job properties are also described in View search job properties in the Search Manual.
The dispatchState property is of particular interest to determine the state of a search, and can contain the following values:
QUEUED PARSING RUNNING FINALIZING DONE PAUSE INTERNAL_CANCEL USER_CANCEL BAD_INPUT_CANCEL QUIT FAILED
This operation also returns performance information for the search. For more information refer to View search job properties in the Search Manual.
For more information on searches in Splunk, refer to the Splunk Search Reference.
POST /search/jobs returns a <sid> for a search. You can also get a search ID from the <sid> field returned from GET search/jobs.

search/spl2-module-dispatch
https://<host>:<mport>/services/search/spl2-module-dispatch
Dispatch a module containing one or more SPL2 statements. For more information about what constitutes an SPL2 statement, see Modules and SPL2 statements in the SPL2 Search Manual.
POST
Start a new search or searches and return a search ID (SID) for each named search statement.
Request parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| module | String | Required. Contains the entire module definition including imports, within quotation marks.
Example: | |
| namespace | String | The application namespace in which to restrict searches. Leave blank with only quotation marks.
Example: " " | |
| queryParameters | String | Required. Contains a list of searches by name. Each search requires its own queryName and associated metadata, and returns a separate SID. | |
| queryName | String | Required. The name of each search in the query, followed by a stanza containing its associated metadata. You must separately specify each search in the module, or your request will not return results for that search. | |
| earliest | String | -24h@h | A time string that specifies the earliest time to retrieve events. Can be a relative or absolute time. For absolute time, specify either UNIX time or UTC in seconds in the ISO-8601 (%FT%T.%Q) format. To learn about time strings in SPL2, see Time modifiers in the SPL2 Search Manual.
Example: |
| latest | String | now | A time string that specifies the latest time to retrieve events. Can be a relative or absolute time. For absolute time, specify either UNIX time or UTC in seconds in the ISO-8601 (%FT%T.%Q) format. To learn about time strings in SPL2, see Time modifiers in the SPL2 Search Manual.
Example: |
