Create, query, update, and delete datasets in Splunk.

Select

The Datasets table requires DataModelId in the WHERE clause. The DataModelId column supports server-side processing for the = operator. The add-in processes other search criteria client-side within the add-in.

SELECT * FROM DataSets  WHERE DataModelId = 'SampleModel' 

Insert

Splunk allows inserts only when DataModelId, ParentName, and ObjectName are all specified.

INSERT INTO [Datasets] (ObjectName, ParentName, DataModelId) VALUES ('SampleSet', 'BaseEvent', 'SampleModel')

Update

The Datasets table allows updates when DataModelId is specified. The columns that can be updated in this case are the following: Description and DisplayName.

When ObjectName is also specified, you can update the following columns: ObjectDisplayName, ParentName, Comment, Fields, Calculations, Constraints, Lineage, ObjectSearchNoFields, ObjectSearch, AutoextractSearch, PreviewSearch, AccelerationSearch, BaseSearch, and TsidxNamespace.

UPDATE Datasets SET Description = 'model description', DisplayName = 'Model Display Name' WHERE DataModelId = 'SampleModel' 

UPDATE Datasets SET ParentName = 'BaseEvent', BaseSearch = '| search (index=* OR index=_*) | fields _time, RootObject', AccelerationSearch = ' search (index=* OR index=_*) ' WHERE DataModelId = 'SampleModel' AND ObjectName = 'SampleSet' 

Delete

Datasets can be deleted by providing the DataModelId and the ObjectName of the dataset.

DELETE FROM Datasets WHERE DataModelId = 'SampleModel' AND ObjectName = 'SampleSet'
