Solved: How Do I Set Ownership On Deployed Saved Searches

mallem · ‎08-13-2010

I have deployment setup and running in v4.1.4. However, I would like to set ownership of the deployed saved searches. On the deployment client, all saved searches show "No Owner," despite the default.meta file on the deployment head showing the owner as admin. See below.

[savedsearches]
access = read : [*], write : [ admin ]
export = system
owner = admin

Ownership can only be set on an individual, per-object basis.

In other words, unlike 'access' and 'export', you cannot set 'owner' on a group of saved searches.

You must set the 'owner' attribute on each of your deployed saved searches.

This should work. Are you sure this file has been deployed and that splunkd on the deployment client has been restarted?
