Is there a way to access the dispatch directories for gathering debugs etc via the REST API?
Working in a shared environment and have limited access to CLI.

Hi @nickstone,

If you know the Job ID then you can use this REST API https://<server>:<mgmt_port>/services/search/jobs/<job_id>;

For example if you want to see search.log of any jobs then you can use

curl -k -u admin:pass https://<server>:<mgmt_port>/services/search/jobs/<job_id>/search.log
