Hello, I am new to splunk, I have no idea, and I am asking for your help, this is my question:
Can we force a query to launch first?
it would be launching the query: |rest /servicesXY/-/-/saved/searches timeout=0 before the rest.
I thank you very much for your time and help.
Please tell us more about your use case. When is the query launching? If this query must be first, what is expected to follow? Why is the sequence important?
When this query is launched after others, it does not end well, that is, it ends due to timeout, and I have been given the task of searching for that query to be launched first.
I still don't understand this use case. Splunk queries run continuously so, other than right after Splunk starts, there is no concept of a "first" query. Searches can be scheduled in a manner that allows some to run before others, however. Is that what you need? If so, it's a matter of setting the schedules such that the "first" query runs at, say, 0100, and the others run some time later (allowing time for the first to complete). perhaps at 0130.
There is no other mechanism, however, to specify search "foo" must run before search "bar" or that search "bar" cannot run before search "foo".
Thank you very much for your answer, I will see it.
