Like this:

| tstats max(_indextime) AS _time first(source) WHERE index=main BY host sourcetype

Hi,

If you have access to license usage logs then it will be good start to checking those logs. You can use below query to check license usage of main index which will give you Host, Source, Sourcetype

index=_internal source=*license_usage.log* idx=main | stats sum(b) As Bytes by h,s,st,idx | rename h AS Host, s AS Source, st AS Sourcetype, idx AS Index | table Host,Source,Sourcetype,Index,Bytes

Try this:

index=main |stats last(sourcetype) by source host
