I want to run datamodel command to fetch the results from a child dataset which is part of a datamodel as shown in the attached screenshot. I am using the below query. But unfortunately it's not returning error. Can anybody please help me write the correct query for multilevel child dataset.

| datamodel Windows_Security_Event_Management Windows_Security_Events Account_Management_Events search

Error message:
Error in 'datamodel' command: Invalid argument: 'search'

Yes it's working. Thank you.

So we don't need to refer the parent datamodel. right?
Also if I have another child data model of Account_Management_Events, then also is it fine to refer that data model after the data model id?

Yes you can directly search after datamodel name, because according to documents datamodel command only take 1 dataset name. Refer this doc:

Thank you...
I had seen that document. there is "[ ]" enclosing the data set in that document. So I thought there might be multiple datasets. Anyway, thank you for your answer.
