Hi,

I wanted to check that how can I get total data transfer from on-prem heavy forwarders and intermediate forwarders to cloud indexer cluster? is there a search which can look into splunkd.log or metrics.log from heavy forwarder for data transferred for 24 hours...

Perhaps this will help

index=_internal host=<<forwarder name>> component=Metrics name=thruput earliest=-24h
| stats sum(total_k_processed) as "total data transfer"

Thanks Rich, that helps.
How can I get it in MB or GB as it is tough to read "91345084304594.000"

Easy-peasy

index=_internal host=* component=Metrics name=thruput earliest=-24h
| stats sum(total_k_processed) as "total data transfer" by host
```Convert KB to GB```
| eval "total data transfer" = 'total data transfer'/1024/1024
