How to restrict btool stanzas without wildcards?

Hello, 

I am using splunk 9.0.0.1, and running btool to list out my index settings.  The trouble is I only want one stanza, but btool treats the stanza as a wildcard.

splunk btool --debug indexes list cisco

I get all stanza's with "cisco" in them (there are 51 of them, including "index=cisco").  how do restrict this?  I only want the "cisco" index.

Hi,

Have you tried btool command with grep? Something like this...

splunk btool --debug indexes list | grep -A 10 "[cisco]"

-A flag will show you N lines after the string your are looking for

I admit, I had hoped there was a way to do it within btool itself, but grep is always an option...
