I am using Nodejs (Javascript sdk) to search a query. I am using oneshotSearch to get all the results I want.</P> <P>Through the web interface, I can run a very simple query <CODE>host=V-MacBook-Pro.local</CODE> and this returns me results. I want to search based on <CODE>host=</CODE>, because in the real dev environment, I might have logs aggregated and I need to filter out based on host.</P> <P>This query does not run in my code. <BR /> In my code var searchQuery = "_host=V-MacBook-Pro.local" throws up: </P> <PRE><CODE>[SPLUNKD] Error in 'SearchParser': Missing a search command before '_'. Error at position '0' of search query '_host=V-MacBook-Pro.local'. Error with "host=V-MacBook-Pro.local" and no result with "search _host=V-MacBook-Pro.local". </CODE></PRE> <P>How exactly should my search string be to search based on "host" ?</P> Tue, 28 Apr 2015 03:36:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Javascript-SDK-Nodejs-How-should-I-write-my-search-string-to/m-p/158848#M44785 blazergun 2015-04-28T03:36:56Z Re: Javascript SDK (Nodejs) How should I write my search string to search based on host? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Javascript-SDK-Nodejs-How-should-I-write-my-search-string-to/m-p/158849#M44786 <P>search host=V-MacBook-Pro.local</P> Tue, 28 Apr 2015 03:53:45 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Javascript-SDK-Nodejs-How-should-I-write-my-search-string-to/m-p/158849#M44786 masonmorales 2015-04-28T03:53:45Z Re: Javascript SDK (Nodejs) How should I write my search string to search based on host? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Javascript-SDK-Nodejs-How-should-I-write-my-search-string-to/m-p/158850#M44787 <P>Ah, missed one combination and that is the answer <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Thanks.</P> Tue, 28 Apr 2015 04:01:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Javascript-SDK-Nodejs-How-should-I-write-my-search-string-to/m-p/158850#M44787 blazergun 2015-04-28T04:01:00Z
