Alerting

Using REST API to search and send an email if there is a result?

Hi all,

I am trying to create a shell script periodically with crontab to run a Splunk search query, and if there are any results/events found in the search query, it will send an email alert with the crontab.

I need some guidance on achieving that as right now, i am new to writing a bash script to run on Splunk. I am using Splunk Free with no alert functions.

Any help will be appreciated! Thank you so much 🙂
