Splunk Search Job
Schema for a Splunk Enterprise search job resource. A search job represents an asynchronous execution of a Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) query. Jobs progress through states from QUEUED through DONE or FAILED, producing events and results that can be retrieved via the REST API.
