web intelligence app - source not matching

mnaina
Explorer

Installed universal forwader and added the following stanza in inputs.conf file [C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\system\default]


[monitor://C:inetpublogsLogFiles]

disabled = false

followTail = 0

sourcetype=iis


Realtime Bus and Realtime Ops are woring in web intelligence app, because it use 'eventype' instead of 'source' .

But when I ran Report Bus and Report Ops it shows no results found.

If I run this qurey timerange_hack source="User session browser stats*" - No results found

Like the following sources also have no data

  • source="User session visitor source*"

source="User session demographics*"

source="Referer category*"

source="User session browser stats*"

source="Web Traffic badstatus fivemin summary*

source ="Web Traffic by host"

Backfilling done for 10 days.

What is missing and how to link the 'source'to the data?

Thanks all

Thanks Mick for your help

Stanza I mentioned above is wrong, Sorry

Splunk instance is collecting data from the web server.

The actual stanza I wrote on input.con file is


  • [monitor://C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles] original {d:\iislog\LogFiles}

disabled = false

followTail = 0

sourcetype=iis


Actually problem is backfilling not done properly.

Now everything is working.

Thanks

After enabling any input, it's important that you verify that you actually have data coming into your Splunk instance from that source. In this instance, I suspect that your original input stanza is not working because you're missing a \ in your monitor spec, i.e.

 [monitor://C:inetpublogsLogFiles]

Should be:

[monitor://C:\inetpublogsLogFiles]

Once this is corrected and you have restarted your instance, you can verify if you're getting data simply by running the search "source=C:\inetpublogsLogFiles*"
