Enable saved searches for the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud

The Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud includes several saved searches that generate lookups. If you are using this add-on with Splunk IT Service Intelligence, you need to enable these saved searches. These saved searches are based on the data collected through Jira Cloud Users moduler input. To collect the data, you need to Configure Jira Cloud Users input and Set Up the Splunk Add-on for Jira Cloud. After the data has been indexed by the Splunk platform, you can manually run the saved searches to populate the lookup. You can also schedule the searches to run at a frequency that matches how often configuration changes occur in your environment.
