Splunk Search

Backfill without app name

Hi,

Is it possible to use a backfill script without the need of pointing to an app name?

EG - ./splunk cmd python fill_summary_index.py -app APPNAME -name SEARCHNAME

I want to backfill searches in various apps and not have to point to specific app name.

Thanks

The splunk needs the app name to locate the savedsearch.conf entry for the searches to backfill, so it would be required.

As a workaround, you can create a wrapper script to get list of folders in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and loop through each folder name and run your backfill command.
