Hi,

I'm on Splunk Cloud - is it possible to create an alert (can be generated a next day) if i exceed my data limit?

Overview panel has a nice "Daily License Usage" chart - so i'm assuming it's somehow possible..

Thanks!

Hello,

Splunk has a built in alert that you can use. From your search head, go to settings, searches, reports and alerts.
filter the type, app and user by ALL.
you should see a list of predefined alerts.
