Alerting

Saved Search and alert for exceeding license?

Does anyone have a saved search that could be run daily to look at the previous 24 hour period and send an email alert if the license was exceeded for that period?

Thanks.

This should do it:

 index=_internal source="*splunkd.log" "Indexing quota exceeded"

Save the search and set an alert for results>0
Run it once a day. Normally, it runs at midnight, but you could tweak it to run at 12:05 am and look at the previous day by setting the earliest time to -1d@d and the latest to @d.

There are a number of similar questions on the forum and a nice write up in the Wiki under Troubleshooting Indexed Data Volume

Finally, there are a number of free Apps available for monitoring license usage.
