Is there a way to list the tables eg (Alert, Event, Perf, ...) as you would with a relational database by querying a data dictionary?

    search * | distinct $table will return all the tables you have available.
  • Here is another method to see all data types and how many records in each:

    search * | summarize count() by $table
  • A command like that does not today exist, but is fairly easy to replicate with the following (somewhat computationally expensive) query:

    union withsource=tblName * 
    | distinct tblName

    Thanks,
