It will give you the option to receive an email when the job completes.</P> Thu, 21 May 2015 19:51:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Why-are-users-automatically-getting-logged-out-of-Splunk-the/m-p/116496#M30940 woodcock 2015-05-21T19:51:43Z Re: Why are users automatically getting logged out of Splunk the past few days and any running searches have to be re-run? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Why-are-users-automatically-getting-logged-out-of-Splunk-the/m-p/116497#M30941 <P>Thanks..
