Splunk Search

How to use the REST API to run a multisearch and stream the results back?

Hi,

I am able to run normal search using rest API using below syntax:

 

https://SearchHead_host:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export -d search=“search index%3D_internal | head 3” -d output_mode=csv/xml/json

 

But when I use a "MULTISEARCH" query, the search doesn't show any results.

Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Thanks,

Arun

Have you run the multisearch query from the GUI to verify it works?

Hi, yes. UI returns results on screen.
