How to remove searchmanager ID in mvc.js after a search in Splunk?

[chrismok]

I created a function in js and call it several times, however, once the searchmanager ID is used, the mvc.js will return an error the next time. As a result, I would like to know how can I remove the searchmanager object after search in Splunk?

function ajax(id, ids) {

    var scope1 = new SearchManager({
        "id": "scope1",
        "status_buckets": 0,
        "search": "`GetSpecDeploylog("+id+")`",
        "app": utils.getCurrentApp()
    }, {
        tokens: true,
        tokenNamespace: "submitted"
    });

    var r = scope1.data('results');
    r.on('data', function(results) {
        BuildInfo(r.data().rows[0], '#build' + ids, [ids - 1]);
        DomainRun(r.data().rows[0], '#chart' + ids, '#legend' + ids);
    });

}

This should work: splunkjs.mvc.Components.revokeInstance("scope1"). After this, you can reuse the same id.

The solution is to create the search manager once, and then change the search of the existing search manager and start it again instead of creating a new search manager every time. It's a search manager after all, not a search.

For the example from the question, it could look like this:

var scope1 = new SearchManager({
    "id" : "scope1",
    "status_buckets" : 0,
    "search" : "`GetSpecDeploylog(" + id + ")`",
    "app" : utils.getCurrentApp()
}, {
    tokens : true,
    tokenNamespace : "submitted"
});

var r = scope1.data('results');

r.on('data', function (results) {
    BuildInfo(r.data().rows[0], '#build' + ids, [ids - 1]);
    DomainRun(r.data().rows[0], '#chart' + ids, '#legend' + ids);
});

function ajax(id, ids) {
    scope1.settings.set("search", "new search string");
    scope1.startSearch();
}

Any solution for this problem?

Try this splunkjs.mvc.Components.revokeInstance("SEARCH MANAGER ID");

Hi,

I had the same problem. For a quick fix just remove the "id": "scope1" line completely. Looks like then automatically a unique id is generated with every call. I don't think this is the best method for the performance, but you can work on with your code.

Greetings

Yes, currently I also generate the new key from "id". and for the r.on('data')...... I have to use the dirty method .....eval function to create the js script...... I hope splunk can provide the solution to us.
