Safeguard for Privileged Sessions On Demand Hosted - REST API Reference Guide

Sample request

The following command retrieves those events in the contents of a specific connection that match the search expression(s).

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/audit/sessions/<session-id>/content/?q=<my-search-expression>

You can use the Apache Lucene query syntax to create the search expression, but note the following points.

• You must format the search expression as a URL, and escape special characters accordingly. For example, if your search expression is man iptables, you must escape the whitespace: man%20iptables

• Do not begin the expression with the * wildcard.

Response

The response contains a list of those events in the contents of the connection that match the search expression(s). The response also contains some meta fields.

If you specified a search expression using the ?q option and the response returns an empty "items" list, that can indicate that:

• The search returned no results.

• There is no content recorded for the connection.

The following is an example response:

{
    "items": [
        { 
            "channel.id": 5,
