Does host in one sourcetype gets updated or not?

[SoknySplunk]

Does any body have search_query related sourcetype update that show:
- how many host in one sourcetype (increase/decrease host)?
- which host not update on time? Thanks

By the way, could we use metadata to pull both host and source and last date?

@SoknySplunk,

Try this and lets know if it works for you

|tstats dc(host) as count  where (index=_* OR index=*) by host,sourcetype,_time
|eventstats latest(_time) as last_seen by host,sourcetype
|bucket span=1d _time|stats dc(host) as count,latest(last_seen) as last_seen by sourcetype,host,_time
|eval delay(secs)=now()-last_seen
|eventstats sum(count) as number_of_host by sourcetype
|table _time,sourcetype,host,number_of_host,delay(secs)|sort sourcetype
