Convert Btool command to rest command to be run on the cloud

Hi

It is possible to convert enterprise command line 

 

 

bin/splunk btool limits list --app=MX.3_MONITORING_v3 --debug

 

 

To a rest command to be run from SPL in the cloud, please?

 

Thanks in advance

Install the Admin's Little Helper app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/6368).  It contains a 'btool' command that you can include in your SPL.

I've not done the cloud enough to know if this works, but on prem I would have done this.

Hi
as this is a generating command https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/SearchReference/Commandsbytype#Generating_c... you must add "|" in front of it. It also must be the first command on your SPL (or inside subquery).

It's a generating command so the SPL has to start with a pipe.
