So, I'm left wondering if anyone knows of a way to get that data without using license_usage.log.</P> Fri, 19 Aug 2022 16:54:23 GMT fredclown 2022-08-19T16:54:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-get-Bytes-Ingested-by-host-source-Over-a-Specified-Time/m-p/610149#M105734 <P>Does anyone know of a way to get bytes ingested by host and source over a specified time?
