How to get a list of all hosts installed with Universal Forwarder
I have a bunch of agents(hosts) in Appdynamics, I wanted to figure out that the Universal Forwarder is installed or not in all those hosts to collect logs to Splunk.
Is there any way that I can get the list of hosts that installed with UF.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vetrikmr
if you want to find servers that sent logs to Indexers you can use the Monitor Console, in this way you have many additional information about them.
If instead you want to know Universal Forwarderd connected to a deployment Server you have to access it and go in [Settings -- Forwarders Management].
Bye.

Hi,
You can run below query to find out which hosts are sending data to your splunk instance.
index="_internal" source="*metrics.log*" group=tcpin_connections | dedup hostname| table hostname,sourceIp,fwdType,guid,version,build,os,arch
If you want to find only universal forwarders then please use below query.
index="_internal" source="*metrics.lo*" group=tcpin_connections fwdType=uf | dedup hostname| table hostname,sourceIp,fwdType,guid,version,build,os,arch

For your two queries, what would be a good way to get lastseen added to it ?
Trying to get a list of all forwarders and when splunk last saw the UF report back into splunk

Hello
This really sums it all up to me.
index="_internal" source="*metrics.lo*" group=tcpin_connections fwdType=uf
| stats latest(_time) as lastSeen by hostname, sourceIp, fwdType, guid, version, build, os, arch
| eval lastSeenFormatted = strftime(lastSeen, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| eval timeDifferenceSec = now() - lastSeen
| eval timeSinceLastSeen = tostring(floor(timeDifferenceSec / 3600)) . "h " . tostring(round((timeDifferenceSec % 3600) / 60)) . "m"
| table hostname, sourceIp, fwdType, guid, version, build, os, arch, lastSeenFormatted, timeSinceLastSeen
