Hello,
I would like to get the link to the alert results under a variable, possibly already during the alert base search (at the end of it). Is it possible?
Basically I need sth like what I get from Activity --> Triggered Alerts --> View Results, e.g.:
https://splunk-ml.zone1.mo.sap.corp/en-US/app/mlbso/search?sid=scheduler__d046266__mlbso__RMD588cf20... ..... etc, etc.
but already at the end of the alert search, that I can set a variable out of it.
The reason is, that I need to integrate my alerts to another tool and there I have a very limited possibility of using texts, so there is no chance to build the output like in Splunk.
What I thought would be best, was to pass the link to the alert results that the alert processor can access splunk directly. For that I need this result link in some kind of variable set with eval ...
Is it possible?
Kind Regards,
Kamil

Are you planning to use Custom Alert Action to send results to 3rd party tool ?

Yes, we wrote one in python and we choose it from the drop down list of the actions.
