How to find all savedsearches (alerts and reports) that are scheduled and use a specific index?

Hi 

I am not having much luck.

I want to find all schedule reports and alerts that use a specific index (e.g. index=foo) or the name contains a keyword (e.g. fooBar).

I tried the _audit index

 

 

index=_audit  search = *"index=foo"* OR savedsearch_name=*fooBAR* provenance=scheduler | stats  values(savedsearch_name)

 

 

 I get some of the alerts (hopefully "provenance = scheduler" means it is scheduled) but I was looking for a better way, maybe with >>  |rest 

 

 

| rest /servicesNS/-/search/saved/searches 
| table title,triggered_alert_count,search, cron_schedule,alert_type,alert_condition
| rex field=search "index=(?<indexName>.[^\s]+)" 
| search indexName=foo

 

 

However I am not having much luck getting alerts that contain "index=foo" in the search field.

Any advice appreciated.

Thank you

Hi @Glasses2,

you can try something like this

| rest /servicesNS/-/search/saved/searches 
| table title,triggered_alert_count,search, cron_schedule,alert_type,alert_condition
| rex field=search "index\s*\=\s*(?<indexname>\w+)"
| search indexname="foo"
| table search

Ciao.

That rest call should work if you have index=foo in your data, but if you have index="foo" then it won't or if your index statement is in a macro used by the search it won't either.

The 'is_scheduled' field also exists to say if it's scheduled or not and the disabled flag 1 or 0.

Thank you for confirming.  Do you know if 

provenance=scheduler

in the _audit logs is equivalent to is_scheduled=1 with | rest search?
