How to get a list of reports and searches run by a specific user?

Hi,

I need a report that shows what searches and scheduled reports that a user has run over a timeframe. I thought it was in the DMC, but I don't see it. Can someone help me?

index=_audit action=search search=* NOT "typeahead" NOT metadata NOT " | history" NOT "AUTOSUMMARY" | table _time, user, search

You can reduce that to a specific user:

index=_audit action=search search=* NOT "typeahead" NOT metadata NOT " user=${user_of_interest} | history" NOT "AUTOSUMMARY" | table _time,  search

Manage search jobs may also be of interest given the formatting and filtering already implemented for you.

Except......that report will only contain the jobs that haven't expired. Its based on the artifacts in the dispatch directory I believe. To get historic data, you would need to use logs.

Correct a terrible paste accident in the "specific user" search syntax above:

index=_audit action=search search=* user=${user_of_interest} NOT "typeahead" NOT metadata NOT " | history" NOT "AUTOSUMMARY" | table _time, search
