Different Amount of Events per UF with different searches

Hello guys,

Iam creating a dashboard which show some statistics about the UFs of our environment.

By finding a good solution for the amount of events delivered per index, I noticed something I cant explain at the moment. Hopefully you can bring light in the dark. 😉

For my understanding:

# The amount of indexed events on the indexer by the forwarder itself

| tstats count as eventcount where index=* OR index=_* host=APP01 earliest=-60m@m latest=now by index, sourcetype | stats sum(eventcount) as eventcount by index

index	eventcount
_internal	11608
win	1337

# The amount of events which are forwarded by the forwarder

index=_internal component=Metrics host=APP01 series=* NOT series IN (main) group=per_index_thruput
| stats sum(ev) AS eventcount by series

series	eventcount
_internal	1243
win	2876

But both of them are delivering different values for the same timerange (60min)

Has anyone an idea why this is happening?

Thanks.

BR, Tom

In your first query you are looking at all events, for all internal and non-internal indexes.

In your second query you are looking only at _internal, and have it further delimited to only the Metrics component and the per_index_thruput group.

That is why you are seeing different results. Essentially, you are not comparing apples to apples, so to speak.
