How to search for dashboards and reports created by a specific user/owner?

vinodsinha — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 18:47:11 GMT

Hi Team,

I was looking for reports, searches, saved searches, and Dashboards created by specific users/owners.
Some of the users/owners left the company, but reports and dashboards still exist in Splunk. So, I need to find those dashboard and reports.

Thanks,

Try something like this

| rest /servicesNS/PutUserNameHere/-/data/ui/views | table author title eai:acl.app | eval Type="Dashboard" | append [| rest /serviceNS/PutUserNameHere/-/saved/searches | table author title eai:acl.app | eval Type="SavedSearch/Report"] | rename author as Owner title as Name eai:.acl.app as AppName

Are you trying to run the command of Splunk Cloud trial OR does your user role has permission to run REST command?? (I guess you need admin_all_objects capability)

Seems like permission issue only. Check with your Splunk admin if you've permissions to run REST command and if not (surely) then request to get that.

Thanks for the Query, worked great - I just found two typos:

| rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views | table author title eai:acl.app | eval Type="Dashboards" | append [| rest /servicesNS/-/-/saved/searches | table author title eai:acl.app | eval Type="SavedSearch/Report"] | rename author as Owner title as Name eai:acl.app as AppName
