Stability Level Preview

The copySavedQuery() GraphQL mutation is used to create a clone of a saved query.

Similar to this mutation, there is the createSavedQueryFromTemplate() creating a saved query using a YAML template, and createSavedQueryFromPackageTemplate() to creating one from a template in a package. There are also the mutations, createSavedQuery(), updateSavedQuery() and deleteSavedQueryV2() for creating, updating, and deleting saved queries. There is also setDefaultSavedQuery() for marking a saved query as the default, and the query savedQuery() to get a saved query.

Syntax

graphql
copySavedQuery(
      id: string!,
      sourceSearchDomainName: string!,
      targetSearchDomainName: string,
      name: string
   ): CopySavedQueryMutation!

There are no special input datatypes for this mutation field.

Example

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

    id: "abc123",
    sourceSearchDomainName: "humio",
    name: "my_new_savedquery" 
  ) savedQuery { id }
}

Returned Datatype

With the returned datatype, you can get a yaml template of the saved query, when and who created it, and other related data — some of which you will know since you will have just created it with this mutation. Still, below is a list of what's available, along with descriptions of them:
