Reporting

Is it possible to determine the last time a saved search was executed?

I am looking to audit the non-scheduled saved searches that users have created, is there a way to obtain the last run time of each saved search?

I know this query can be written better but it works 😉

audit_searchlocal | audit_rexsearch | search search_id!=scheduler_* | search search=search* search!=*_internal* search!=*_audit* | search NOT audit_search* | search NOT audittrail
