Hello,

Help me please. I have a REST API datasource get data ( JSON ) in main index something like this:

["user","domain\\user1","domain\\user2","domain\\user3"] ... 

I'd like to create a search which runs for all the users extracted from this JSON. 

How it is possible to use all this values in another search? 

thanks

Your example isn't properly formatted JSON - if your real events are properly formatted JSON, you could look at using spath to extract the values.
