Splunk Search

How to create Reports from a seed file?

I have six different SPL queries that I run on a specific IP Address.  Is it possible to save a search as a report, schedule that report to run, and provide the report a seed file of IP addresses.

I have 20+ IP addresses that I need to run the same 6 reports on.  Right now i'm just running them interactively, which is a pain.

Any suggestions?

You could save the ip addresses to  lookup file and use inputlookup to retrieve the ipaddresses to use in your reports.

Admittedly, this answer is vague as it depends on the nature of your searches and what you are trying to achieve as output e.g. this method could be used if you want to combine the reports in to just 6 with all the ipaddresses in each report, although you could update the searches to take into account the extra dimension of ipaddress (depending on your actual searches).

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll see if that works for me.
