License source not up to date

jgauthier — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:25:40 GMT

I noticed today that my license audit source is not up to date:

index=_internal source=*license_audit.log

This does not have any data since 09/08/2012... but I have on idea why.

Any ideas for me?

Hi there,

I would take this as good news, as the license_audit.log file is used for tracking license violations (i.e. when you go over the limit).

I think you are looking for license_usage.log, this tracks your general usage.

Please see the following docs for reference...

This query:
index=_internal todaysBytesIndexed LicenseManager-Audit source=*license_audit.log | eval Daily_Indexing_Volume_in_MBs = todaysBytesIndexed/1024/1024 | bucket _time span=1d | stats avg(Daily_Indexing_Volume_in_MBs) AS UsageMB first(licenseSize) AS LicenseSize by _time host | eval UsagePercent=UsageMB/(LicenseSize/1024/1024)*100 | eval UsagePercent=round(UsagePercent, 2) | table _time host LicenseSize UsageMB UsagePercent

Which I have used for over a year no longer works.
And no, I'm not over my licensing... and I haven't been.. .but this query always worked.

Bah, that has an asterisk before license_audit.log that the web form has removed on my behalf.

Try including your search query in backticks (e.g. "`").

Which version of Splunk are you using? Have undergone an upgrade... The following provides differences between versions of SPlunk and checking license usage etc.
