Splunk index usage report in prod, dev, and qa environment

Mohsin123 — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 00:02:02 GMT

Hi,
We have licence master in Prod. Dev and qa can no way communicate with prod. Licence master is shared among prod, qa and Dev. From qa and Dev, licence master is unreachable I. E it doesn't produce logs. I want a report in Dev and qa that will give me splunk indexes usage per index in Dev and qa from the license master. Can anyone please help me on how to approach this and achieve the result.

Please see the Distributed Management Console documentation. Specifically, around licensing https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/DMC/DMCLicensing and
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/AboutSplunksLicenseUsageReportView

The document also has steps for configuring DMC based on type of your Splunk environment. If you have created separate license pools for different environments then it will be easy to split license usage across license pools.

You need to UnAccept this answer (or delete it). The way to bump it is to edit the original question text with the gear icon in the upper-right and save an adjustment.

Setup a Monitoring Console that can talk to everybody (QA, Dev, Prod) and be sure that he can talk to the license server, too. This is the right/best way to do it. MC has more reports than you will care to use.
