SplunkJS: How to check if the search is currently running with Javascript?

[seva98]

Hi,

I have an issue in my project code, something runs a function that starts multiple searches- multiple times.

I will need to make simple checks, where I check if a search with 'searchid' is currently running and if so I will just return else and start the search.
Is it possible?

For example, I will need something like this:

var search = mvc.Components.getInstance('searchid')
if (search.isRunning) {
 return
} else {
 // Start search
}

I know how to run the search but I don't know how to check if it is currently running.

Thanks!

search.on('search:progress', function(properties){ console.log(properties.content.isDone) })
