Is there a way to find out the location of a given macro in a search head clustering environment?
I am new to a search head clustering environment. I found macros being used and I am trying to find out where these macros were created. I read the link http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/3.3.0/Install/Macros which has a lot of useful information on ES defined macros. Is there a way to quickly find out the location of a given macro, e.g.,
| `host_eventcount(30,72)`
using grep at the CLI, or search? This helps me to understand what canned searches do.
Thank you.

I will try the btool option as this is the answer I am looking for. It provides a unique way to look for macros. The other GUI option is too clumsy as you need to know what apps the macro was created for.
Thank you.

One way to look up information about a given macro, is to use btool
:
./splunk btool macros list host_eventcount --debug
Have you tried just looking for it in Settings > Advanced Search > Macros and looking across all owners / apps ?
