Query DBX internal logs for Input and which index, source, souretype its written to

I know you can search for list of all db connect jobs and when they've ran historically within the internal logs, which gets you how long the query ran, # events and error count. Is there anyway to get which index, source and sourcetype it was written to without having to check on the DB Connection inputs ? For example, I'd like to know where it was written and if anything has changed since it ran? 

index=_internal sourcetype=dbx* status=* input_name

I'm guessing the answer is no. I've taken this with a different approach - using the DB Connect rest api. If anyone knows of a better way for this, please post. Greatly appreciated.

| table title, updated
| rename title as dbinput_name 
| join type=left dbinput_name
