Can saved search send alert and email notification with a splunk free license?

[royimad]

Is that possible from a free license to send email alert to users on my company based on saved search results ?

Thanks,
Roy

The free license does include scheduling... but it doesn't include alerting.

Here's a handy overview: http://www.splunk.com/view/free-vs-enterprise/SP-CAAAE8W

Another way to get info is to look at your license page in the manager, even enterprise and trial licensed instances list the free license in their stack. You'll see ScheduledSearch listed under free, but not Alerting.

Oops - you may be right on that one, long time since I sat at a Free installation.

Most likely not, according to the docs;

Since you can't do scheduling in Free, you will not have access to alerting either.
