First, Schedule your report and end it with the ouputcsv command

sourcetype=foo | stats count by bar | outputcsv foobar.csv

Choose what time the report runs enable actions 'Run a Script'.

Write a script like this that moves them to the location of your choice

#!/bin/bash
NOW=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y")
OUTFILE="data.$NOW.csv"
mv $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/foobar.csv /my/favorite/csv/hideway/OUTFILE

Upload the script to $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts/
Specify the script in the scheduling options.

Our splunk installation is Managed services on AWS server. How can I get access to "$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts/" directory? So I can get Script in that folder.

Thanks

Managed by some external party ? Talk to your administrator for SSH access:

Otherwise it would be a security vulnerability, right ?
