Hi All,

i am trying to use Curl to return a search as my result will be >6million to a csv file.
using the command:

curl -k -u un:pw https://our_splunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs/export --data-urlencode search='search index=foo sourcetype=bar report | table subid cardid panelid' -d output_mode=csv -d earliest=-6h max_time=0 -o filename.csv

this returns the below to filename.csv:

subid,cardid,panelid
,,
,,
,,
,,
,,

If i take the table request out and use the fields:

curl -k -u un:pw https://our_splunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs/export --data-urlencode search='search index=foo sourcetype=bar report | fields subid cardid panelid' -d output_mode=csv -d earliest=-6h max_time=0 -o filename.csv

This returns the whole log line below to filename.csv:

"2019-02-27 11:49:37.772 GMT","2019/02/27 11:49:37.772 [SenderFile] [c-11]:   INFO:  Report saved to /apps/box_20190227114937772_77777740_5_892222_1223.xml"

In this instance the fields i am trying to put into a table are:

subid 77777740
cardid 892222
panelid 5

When i include table to extract the fields, I don't get anything returned:

curl -k -u un:pw https://our_splunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs/export --data-urlencode search='search index=foo sourcetype=bar report | fields subid cardid panelid |table subid cardid panelid' -d output_mode=csv -d earliest=-6h max_time=0 -o filename.csv

any advice would be grateful.
Thanks.

Hi @ssaenger,

Have you verified that your field extraction is working properly and that their permissions are not set to private ?

Could you please share that config ?

Cheers,
David

What happens when you do this?

curl -k -u un:pw https://our_splunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs/export --data-urlencode search='search index=foo sourcetype=bar report | table subid cardid panelid' -d output_mode=csv -d earliest=-6h max_time=0 -o filename.csv
