Hello @rayar,

s= - source
st= - sourcetype
h= - host
idx= - index
i= - ID of the sending splunk instance
pool= - license pool
b= - amount of bytes this event referenced to
poolsz= - license pool size (your license is 20GB/day license)

I hope it helps

thanks a lot for the information
the issue is that I don't have this host and index configured in my system and I am looking for the configuration for it to disable it

Hello @rayar,

the host can be named differently. The ID of the machine stored in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/instance.cfg

Try to grep all logs for this GUID to find a sending host.

[splunk@ilissplmstr01 etc]$ cat instance.cfg
[general]
guid = C7623105-1D08-4451-8FC9-DCCE1F03C748
[splunk@ilissplmstr01 etc]$

the only event I have are

05-06-2020 12:57:34.291 +0300 INFO LicenseUsage - type=Usage s="/data/logs/log_from_DP_Test/int/TEST/log_to_Splunk.csv.20200506125633925" st=dp_log h=DPINT o="" idx="log_from_dp_test" i="85B0888C-36DF-45C7-9365-D754F1D9F343" pool="Integration" b=98785 poolsz=21349007360
