Splunk stream app

Hello

I appear to be having a problem with stream app 6.2.2 running on splunk 6.2.3. I have a universal forwarder on another linux box sending the data to the main search head.

I do not get any data displaying in the Stream Stats dashboard & other dashboards inside the stream app - this includes the main page displaying:

Avg. Traffic(15m)
~ 0 B/s

All of the lines for the various protocols are flat and displaying as you would expect if it were not receiving data. However, I am receiving data if I check the Search > Data Summary > sourcetypes > stream:tcp .

I can see a lot of logs coming in, and Enterprise security is taking that into account as well.

Any ideas why the dashboards and graphs within the stream app are not displaying anything?

Many thanks.

Hello,

The data used to populate Stream dashboards is sent to the _internal index that is not being forwarded by default. To enable forwarding the _internal index, please modify your universal forwarder's $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/outputs.conf file to include the following:

[tcpout]
forwardedindex.2.whitelist = (_audit|_introspection|_internal)

Thanks for this, it has helped bring up the Stream Stats dashboard, but not the:

"Avg. Traffic(15m)
~ 0 B/s"

as well as the other protocol graphs in the config area.

Thanks for the help though - anything else would be greatly appreciated!

The graphs in stream config are only populated if the streams are enabled (or "stats only"). By default, everything is disabled except the tcp and udp streams. You'll need to enable the other protocols/streams to get their graphs to populate.
