I created a sourcetype for these log files. Now in the default search app, I can see the logs when I type "sourcetype=xxx". But the same sourcetype is not available in the Splunk app I created. </P> <P>Is all sourcetypes visable to all Splunk apps? If not, where can I configure the permissions?</P> <P>Thanks.</P> Thu, 16 May 2013 18:46:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/sourcetype-visibility-to-Splunk-Apps/m-p/37018#M6840 csclement 2013-05-16T18:46:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/sourcetype-visibility-to-Splunk-Apps/m-p/37019#M6841 <P>See the responses here:<BR /> <A href="http://answers.splunk.com/answers/110479/cant-access-data-from-non-main-index-using-custom-app-sideview-utils">http://answers.splunk.com/answers/110479/cant-access-data-from-non-main-index-using-custom-app-sideview-utils</A></P> <P>Basically, visibility at the sourcetype (and index) level is defined by the logged-in user's role, not by the application itself.</P> Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:36:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/sourcetype-visibility-to-Splunk-Apps/m-p/37019#M6841 RMartinezDTV 2013-11-11T20:36:39Z
