@jhupka, I am trying to replicate things which happen when we create an alert manually in Splunk and schedule it to run. When we run it and say the action as send email, we get View Results link. For now it is displaying me the results in my console, I want to replace it with a Splunk link clicking on which the user is taken to splunk web ui. Embedding the search id in url won't work for me since I am keeping this splunk alert real time and have saved the search only once. I appreciate your time, Thanks! ... View more
