Saved Searches

XpoSearch searches can be saved for future usage. This is a very handy feature for useful or interesting searches that you expect to run again, as it saves you the time of reformulating and retyping the search string.
In addition, by default, XPLG keeps the saved searches results updated in the background to allow users to run them and get results very quickly.

For a detailed explanation on how to run a saved search, see Running a Saved Search.

Saving a search is very quick and simple – the minimum that is required is for you to define a name for the search.

The search string, which is also required, is automatically input by the system. You also have the option of defining the following:

• The default time range of the search - upon execution for the first time, this will be the time that will be used.

• A description of the search.

• An indication of whether or not this search is to be included in the analysis that the Analytics engine performs on logs. A severity of None excludes this search from the analysis that the Analytics engine performs on logs. A severity of Low, Medium, or High indicates that the Analytics engine is to include this search in the analysis it performs on logs.

• Visibility - users may select whether the search is private (visible to the user who saved it) only, or public (available to all users).

• Cache settings - determine if cache is active, and on which time frames. Caching a search is highly recommended as XPLG will generate results continuously on the selected time frames allowing users to see results immediately when executing.
