So I ran a search 'index="website_monitors" url=<A href="https://www.sitename.com" target="_blank">https://www.sitename.com</A>' to see if there was anything in the index for the new URL. I see events every 5 minutes and up to date. </P> <P>Oddly, I noted that below each event it shows the following extractions:</P> <PRE><CODE> host = SPLINDEX source = web_ping://Site sourcetype = web_ping </CODE></PRE> <P>If 'sourcetype=web_ping' shows here how come it doesn't show if I search only on sourcetype=web_ping?</P> Tue, 29 Sep 2020 21:59:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Website-Monitoring-App-No-Data-After-Changing-URLs/m-p/383827#M5591 swhittier 2020-09-29T21:59:12Z
