Splunk Search

is there a way to get metadata about a search result with loadjob

Hi,

I am trying to get the metadata info of the search artefact that is returned by loadjob (when loading the latest artefact of a saved search). e.g. the earliest time and latest time of the search job that generated the result set that is loaded by loadjob?

Thank you
Xiwen

In the end, we had to put addinfo in the original search being loaded to have this info in the loadjob.

This adds additional fields in the original search results which can be used and manipulated afterwards.

Not ideal, but certainly does the job

Not sure about using loadjob for this, but you can certainly use REST:

| rest /services/search/jobs/<search id> | table earliestTime latestTime

would this work if i am using load job with saved search (i.e. owner:app:searchName syntax)?
I wont have the actual search id in this case.
sorry for not being clear in my original question.

You could certainly modify it to:

| rest /services/search/jobs | search label="<saved search name>" | table label earliestTime latestTime
