Live Search Request
A live search request is similar to the simplie search request. The difference is that a live search request does not complete. Instead, the search returns all the matching records to the client, and then keeps the HTTP request open. As new data is ingested into the repository, matching results are immediately sent to the client.
Important
Live searches can be terminated at any time, and do not work with aggregate functions and operators. For more information on the operation of Live Queries, see Live Search Operation. Thie may mean that a live query fails, or 'times out' during execution and results may fail to be returned without a clar indication of the reason. Using the Query Job API may lead to a more reliable and reproducible result see. For more information, see Submitting Query Jobs.
To execute a live search request, add the
isLive
parameter to the request object with the value
true
. For example:
{
"queryString" : "css",
"isLive" : true
}
curl -v -X POST https://$YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/api/v1/repositories/$REPOSITORY_NAME/query \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
{
"isLive" : true,
"queryString" : "css"
}
EOF
curl -v -X POST https://$YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/api/v1/repositories/$REPOSITORY_NAME/query \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
{
\"queryString\" : \"css\",
\"isLive\" : true
}

The results match the filter will be returned instantly, but the HTTP connection will not be closed. Any additional results will be returned as they are ingested:
