Saved Search working in UI, but errors when called via REST

emiller42 — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:22:44 GMT

I have a rather complex saved search that functions perfectly when accessed via the UI. But when a job is kicked off via REST, it fails, giving the following error: "Error in 'eval' command: Failed to parse the provided arguments. Usage: eval dest_key = expression"

Here is the search string itself:

(sourcetype="livecycle:webserver:server" OR sourcetype="alfresco_cms:app:ds") tag::host="dev" nodeUUID=* 
| regex nodeUUID="[a-z0-9]{8}-[a-z0-9]{4}-[a-z0-9]{4}-[a-z0-9]{4}-[a-z0-9]{12}" 
| eval status=case(DS_PDFG=="doc_status_change",state, DS_PDFG!="doc_status_change",DS_PDFG, searchmatch("error OR fail"),"Error")
| rex "(?msi)Conversion failed\s*:\s*(?<conversionFailed>.*?)nodeUUID" 
| rex "com.adobe.livecycle.assembler.client.ProcessingException message:(?<processingException>.*)nodeUUID" 
| rex "javax.resource.ResourceException\s*:\s*(?<resourceException>.*)" 
| rex "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException\s*:\s*(?<nameNotFound>.*)" 
| rex "\{\"exceptionType\":(?<exceptionType>.*)\}" 
| rex "\'Error\':\s*(?<error>.*)nodeUUID" 
| stats first(_time) as time, first(status) as status, first(conversionFailed) as conversionFailed, first(processingException) as processingException, first(resourceException) as resourceException, first(nameNotFound) as nameNotFound, first(exceptionType) as exceptionType, first(error) as error by nodeUUID 
| eval reason=coalesce(conversionFailed,resourceException,processingException, nameNotFound, exceptionType,error) 
| table time nodeUUID status reason 
| where status="Error" 
| sort -time 
| convert ctime(time)

Actually answered this myself, but posting it all here in case someone else runs into this:

As you can see from the code above, there are line breaks to aid readability. They did not cause any problems when running the search through the UI. If I scheduled the search, and used REST to access the results, there was no issue as well. However they did cause the search to fail if a new job using it was kicked off via REST.

Removing the line breaks resolved the issue, and the search jobs now run appropriately when invoked via REST.
