Hi I'm new to Splunk and what to create a search that shows what savedsearches where used in a dashboard?

This is how far I got:

| rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views  splunk_server=local
| search title="test_dashboard"
| rename eai:acl.app AS app, eai:data AS data
| fields title app author data



I have no clue how to go from this data to an actual list of savedsearches used in this dashboard.
Is there anyone who can put me on a good track?

Try this

| rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views  splunk_server=local
| search title="test_dashboard"
| rename eai:acl.app AS app, eai:data AS data
| fields title app author data
|  where match(data,"\|\s*savedsearch\s") OR match(data,"ds\.savedSearch") OR match(data,"search ref\=") 
|  rex field=data "\|\s+savedsearch\s+(?<savedsearch1>\S+)" 
|  rex field=data "(\s|\")ref((\":)|\=)\s*\"(?<savedsearch2>[^\"]+)" 
| eval savedsearch=coalesce(savedsearch1, savedsearch2)
| stats count by savedsearch | fields - count

@somesoni2 Thanks a lot for you reply! This works like a charm.

Question though: 

How can I loop the results as list into 1 field maybe as list?

Something like this (I mixed python and SPL haha)

data[] = results from | where match(data,"\|\s*savedsearch\s") OR match(data,"ds\.savedSearch") OR match(data,"search ref\=")

for x in data:
print(x) in field "savedsearch"
