How do I reuse a saved search in a dashboard?

[gauravmishra15]

Hi Team,

I am working to design a couple of dashboards which will be accessed by a larger audience. The dashboard will be comprised of certain related and individual searches. There is a requirement of auto refresh. I am currently using the concept of post process where a parent search object can be re-utilized multiple times.

In order to accommodate more charts in my dashboard, I am looking for an option (preferably saved search) to run in scheduler and utilize the pre-populated search results in my dashboard, provided this is possible in SPLUNK. This will point all my user hits to a single search result.

Please let me know if this is possible and how to use the saved search results.

What you need is "loadjob" command, which will fetch the latest result of the saved search execution. See more here.
