Adding saved search using splunk CLI with enableSched does not work

[hkaiser]

Hello all,

I'm trying to define splunk saved-search using the splunk CLI.
In order to enable scheduling of a saved search, I identified the option "enableSched" in the savedsearch.conf. I would like to enable this option. However it looks like enableSched is not supported on the CLI.

However it looks like the parameter is not supported:

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk edit saved-search -name 'Test123' -enableSched '1'

An error occurred:

In handler 'savedsearch': Argument "enableSched" is not supported by this handler.

Is there another possiblity to enable scheduling of a report from the command line?

Also is there any possiblity to get a list of all possible parameters of splunk? Looks like /bin/splunk help does not provide much detail in this case and the splunk online documentation about the CLI does not provide such detail.

Thank you.

Instead of setting "enableSched", try "is_scheduled" instead. This should work:

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk edit saved-search -name 'Test123'  -is_scheduled '1'

I'm making a bug report to get them to make this more intuitive.
