Hi,
Splunk query the indexed iis data and generate the report on daily basis. Is it possible to append each and every data into spreadsheet? (automatically). Suppose I need 1 week data or 1 month data or 1 year data. I have already scheduled job on daily.

Please suggest me on this. What is the best approach.

Thanks,
Guru Prasad K

Hi Guru Prasad K
you can export results as CSV. just modify your search and schedule it to export the results.
if you have many lines in the csv. take a look at this link:

Hi,
I understand your comment. Any way my scheduled job will send out report on every day basis. Based on my schedule job, can I append every day scheduled job data into one spreadsheet and from there I will upload that file into SharePoint.

Please any suggestion.

here is one approach. start your search with getting the last lookup (csv you created, lets say yesterday) | inputlookup <yourLookup.csv>
now write your search: | append [your search] filter if needed | filter duplicates
lastly output to the same lookup from before. | outputlookup <yourLookup.csv>
that will have all results from last lookup and new events.
here is an answer that was posted in the past:
