index limit

glenngermiathen — Fri, 08 Nov 2013 15:36:01 GMT

How can I find out how much data Splunk is indexing? Before I found something that gave me the Peak daily usage, Avg daily usage, and Avg daily usage for the top 5 days over the last 30 days, but I cant find this anymore. Can someone point me to where to look?

Following queries can be used for what you are looking for

Total indexed volume by index

|eventcount summarize=false report_size=true index=* | fields index count server size_bytes

Indexed volume for any period

  index=_internal source=*metrics.log | eval MB=kb/1024 | timechart span=1h sum(MB) as TotalMB by series

I also suggest that you install the Splunk on Splunk (SOS) app...

Thanks. I dont know if it changed in one of the updates, but there used to be a screen (I think from the manager tab) that showed you all the information for total data indexed for your license.

If you are using Splunk 6.0, use the new License Usage Report View. If you are using Splunk 5.x, install the latest version of the Splunk on Splunk app and it has the same view for your 5.x environment.
