How can I get a result of saved search with loadjob

I'm confused with loadjob.

I have a saved search called "Splunk error last 24 hours". I wanted to see the search result I ran last time from command line.

$ ./splunk search '| loadjob savedsearch="admin:search:Splunk error last 24 hours"' -auth admin:changeme

I thought loadjob can do it. But, the loadjob does not give me search result.
Oh, by the way, this saved search is not scheduled right now. So, I'm testing it manually.
What is wrong?

If the saved search is a scheduled saved search, your command should work.

If the saved search is not a scheduled search, and you're looking for the artifact which was run by a user, admin, you need an option job_delegate=admin.


./bin/splunk search '| loadjob savedsearch="admin:search:Splunk errors last 24 hours" job_delegate=admin'

This is run from Splunk CLI, so it will be shown on the command windows (if run directly) OR in stdout if running from script.
