Alerting

Are alerts created in CORE SPLUNK stored in a .CONF file?

I have users creating alerts in our DEV space and I was wondering if those are stored in .CONF stanza that I can pickup and use to migrate to production?

If they are where are they stored and is the stanza name?

Thanks!

Hi pfabrizi,
alerts are stored in savedsearches.conf files, there's one in each app.
Stanza's name is the Alert name.

Bye.

HI

Can you please try this?

Run the btool command to list the content of savesearches.conf on your Splunk search head and then filter only specific to search app. The btool merges the configuration from default and local directory and shows the saved searches configurations that are effective.

./splunk cmd btool savedsearches list --debug | grep "etc/apps/search" | sed -r 's/^(\S+\s+)//' >>/tmp/savedsearches.conf 

check your desired stanzas in /tmp/savedsearches.conf

Thanks
