Getting Data In

Splunk API paging

I'm running into an issue with using the Splunk API and it only returning 30 records. I've searched the Splunk API, ATOM and opensearch documentation and I am still unable to determine how to page the records.

For example I am querying to get the current data inputs by calling https://%basesplunkurl%:8089/services/data/inputs/monitor

This returns a document with 30 records and the opensearch fields indicating that there is 34 records total.

opensearch:totalResults34/opensearch:totalResults
opensearch:itemsPerPage30/opensearch:itemsPerPage
opensearch:startIndex0/opensearch:startIndex

What do I have to do to get the next page of results? In this example the last 4 data input records?

So I used the web console and the splunkd_access.log file to figure out that the requests to these objects uses the opensearch REST parameters.

I changed my url to include a trailing ?count=-1 to return all records.

EX:
https://%basesplunkurl%:8089/services/data/inputs/monitor?count=-1

In general, you can use the offset parameter to get the next offset of results. So in your case, you'd pass in offset=30.
