The runningQueries() GraphQL query is used to get a list of running queries.

For more information on saved queries, see the User Functions (Saved Searches) reference page where saved queries are discussed. Also, look at the Searching Data documentation page as it relates to recent queries and saving queries.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the runningQueries() query field:

graphql
runningQueries(
     searchTerm: string
     sortField: SortField
     sortOrder: SortOrder
   ): RunningQueries!

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

Raw
graphql
query {
  runningQueries(searchTerm:"host", global: true, 
                 sortField: Status, sortOrder: Ascending)
   {totalNumberOfQueries, queries {
    id, initiatedBy, view} }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query {
  runningQueries(searchTerm:\"host\", global: true, 
                 sortField: Status, sortOrder: Ascending)
   {totalNumberOfQueries, queries {
    id, initiatedBy, view} }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \

                 sortField: Status, sortOrder: Ascending)
   {totalNumberOfQueries, queries {
    id, initiatedBy, view} }
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
