How do I limit the fields returned by Splunk's REST handlers?

[LukeMurphey]

I am attempting to use Splunk's REST handlers. In my case, the REST handler returns lots of fields that I don't need. This causes a lot of data to be transmitted between the browser and Splunk. Is there a way to limit the fields returned?

Yes, this can be done. Use the "f" parameter to only return the field you care about. Include the parameter for each field you want if you want more than one.

Something like this:

storage/passwords?f=name&f=eai:acl&f=username&f=realm
