I can't find documentation anywhere on how to format search strings for the Splunk SDK. Every single example provided just uses:
search index=_internal | head 10
I'm just trying to search on a custom field I use in my application, so I thought this would work:
search index=myindex mycustomfield=xyz
but that just gives me an error: Bad Request: FATAL: Unknown search command mycustomfield
How do I format this as I want? And perhaps more importantly where is this documented how the SDK expects requests to be formatted?
See if this answer from yesterday helps.
@micahkemp that actually did help but not for the reason you would think...turns out it was a dumb mistake on my part, I had two variables declared named search and searchStr and i mixed the two up and was passing in the wrong one without the 'search' part at the beginning. Stupid mistake but thanks for the tip
Hi scott,
Can you provide us with a sample of the code you're using to get this error?
