As we embark new customers into Splunk, we are trying to automate the validations process. One challenges is to find out whether the "new" ldap group for the new customer is accessible via the Search Head.
Is there a way to invoke a REST command which would validate it? We normally run our validations via a python script...
Do you want to check if an LDAP group is setup (as role) in your search head?
All of these kinds of actions are documented here
