I have changed the index= host= but still it doesn't provide any output.

Try like this,

index=_internal host="*" source=*license_usage.log type="Usage" | stats sum(b) as b by h | eval mb=round(b/1024/1024, 3)

The above query will show you a table for all your hosts (UF's), bytes and MBs for each one of them. This is working for me, please check what @esix said.

Change the host="*" to the host="hostnameofinterest".. You need to make sure that the host is forwarding its logs to the indexer(s) and that your search head(s) are searching those indexers.

Hi there @aparkale

Please try this search on your license master OR you can run it on your Search Head if you are forwarding internal logs to the Indexer.

index=_internal host=<HOSTNAME,IP> source=*license_usage.log type="Usage" | stats sum(b) as b by h | eval mb=round(b/1024/1024, 3)
