Convert Btool command to rest command to be run on the cloud

robertlynch2020 — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 16:47:29 GMT

It is possible to convert enterprise command line

bin/splunk btool limits list --app=MX.3_MONITORING_v3 --debug

To a rest command to be run from SPL in the cloud, please?

Thanks in advance

Install the Admin's Little Helper app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/6368). It contains a 'btool' command that you can include in your SPL.

Thanks for the help, i have installed it, but am I missing something.

I've not done the cloud enough to know if this works, but on prem I would have done this.

| rest splunk_server=local /servicesNS/-/-/configs/conf-limits search="eai:acl.app=*"

It's a generating command so the SPL has to start with a pipe.

| btool limits list

Hi
as this is a generating command https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/SearchReference/Commandsbytype#Generating_commands you must add "|" in front of it. It also must be the first command on your SPL (or inside subquery).
