List hunt jobs
arkime_hunt_statusRead-only
List Arkime hunt jobs with progress, match counts, and status to monitor packet-payload searches and retrieve hunt IDs for cancellation.
Instructions
List Arkime hunt jobs with their progress, match counts and status.
Use this to see what packet-payload searches this Arkime is running or
has run — the ones a human queued in the Arkime UI as much as the ones
arkime_create_hunt queued, since both land in the same list. Poll it to
watch a job finish and see how many sessions matched, and read a hunt's
`id` here before passing it to arkime_cancel_hunt. Registered
unconditionally: it only reads /arkime/api/hunts, so it stays available
with every write class off; creating and cancelling hunts are the parts
the hunt-job write class gates. Note the two halves are separate lists —
active_only=true never shows a finished job, so a hunt that vanished
from one call has moved to the other, not disappeared. A deployment
that has never run a hunt gets an empty `data` list, which is an answer.
Returns the raw Arkime hunts response.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max hunts to return. Arkime honours whatever it is given here and this tool sets no ceiling of its own, unlike the 500-row cap on the other list tools — pair a large value with active_only=false only when you really want the whole history. | |
| active_only | No | If true, show queued/running/paused jobs; if false, finished (history) jobs. |
