How to find a seach file

mwcentracomm
Explorer

I have inherited a Splunk system and this is one of the alerts

| metadata index=index-cc* type=hosts | eval age = now()-lastTime | where age > 86400 | sort age d | convert ctime(lastTime) | fields lastTime,host,source,age | rename age as "Seconds Since Last Event" | search `Exempted_Dark_Devices`

 

How do I find the file Exempted_Dark_Devices?

 

Thank you

From the syntax `Exempted_Dark_Devices`, it's a macro.

Look in the macro definitions and you should be able to find the expansion of this macro
