Save SPL commands into one SPL new command

Hi,

Is it possible to save SPL command into one new command and use it when running a query?

For example:
| dedup 1 id | stats count by hostname ----> my_command

When running a query, I want to use it as:
| my_command

How can I do that?

Thanks

If you saved this as MySavedSearch

| dedup 1 id | stats count by hostname

Then you can do this:

| savedsearch MySavedSearch

Also, if you schedule MySavedSearch, you could also use loadjob to load the results of the previous run (instead of re-running it ad-hoc).
