Getting Data In

Who is forwarding data

bc_unixadm
Explorer

How can I tell which servers in my enterprise are forwarding to the master server. We do automated installs of vm's and splunk is automated to install and start but I would like to have a picture or list from within the app to show that I am receiving data from the servers after installation.

Thanks Mark

one way is to run the following search to give an idea of which hosts are fowarding how many events

* | chart count(host) by host

Run this over the last 15 minutes.

  1. This will give you a list of the hosts that Splunk knows about... | metadata type=hosts | fields host
