Splunk Search

SPL2 searches acceleration

Hi,

I haven't seen the acceleration mentioned anywhere in regards to SPL2.

I have saved a sample search as a report form the search box and noticed that the report is saved as `| @spl2 search ...` which prompts a question what would theoretically happen if we were able to accelerate it? Would the SPL2 searches that use the accelerated report as a base benefit from summaries? Is acceleration something that would be introduced with SPL2 views/searches?

As of now, I assume it is not possible, since trying to accelerate a search with @spl2 gives a 'malformed search' error which is different to 'report cannot be accelerated' error that appears when the report does not satisfy the condition.

Thank you in advance.

@artkhod - I don't think it has been documented anywhere in Splunk Docs that accelerated report supports SPL2. FYI, I also didn't find its documented anywhere that it does not support as well.

 

Maybe if you need it as a feature you can submit it as an idea to https://ideas.splunk.com
