Count of Apps

sheltomt — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 23:02:58 GMT

Upper management would like a count of all apps installed on our main Search Head. They want a "how many right now" to compare against in the future. My idea is to just make a then/now type report, haven't decided on visualization.

I'm not finding anything on Google that would allow me to count apps on demand.

Has anyone done this?

You can do this via rest. Try this first to get the list of apps:

| rest /services/apps/local | table label version

If you want a count of all the apps:

| rest /services/apps/local | stats count as numberofapps

If you just want enabled apps, you could use:

| rest /services/apps/local | search disabled=0 | stats count as numberofapps

Well - one of the problems is this: do you want to count disabled apps? Do you want to count the built-in apps? Do add-ons count?

But if you just want to know how many apps are on your main search head, you can run this search:

| rest /services/apps/local | fields label title visible disabled configured core | stats count by disabled

This example breaks out the disabled vs. enabled apps
