Splunk Search

Kicking different searches

Hi!

I want to ask question if something like below can be implemented.

I have created 4 searches.

search A : creates a CSV file with outputcsv
search B : creates a CSV file using the csv from search A
search C : creates a CSV file using the csv from search A
search D : creates a CSV file using the csv from search A

So the call flow would be like,

search A -> search B
-> search C
-> search D

search B - D has to be called the in the stream of search A.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Yu

You can use the fact that subsearches are run before the main search, so first of all run search A in a subsearch so that the CSV file exists, then use it in all your other searches.

searchB [search searchA | outputcsv ... | return ""] | outputcsv ... | append [search searchC | outputcsv ... ] | append [search searchD | outputcsv ... ]
