Hello friends!

Today there are very strange behavior on splunk server.

On the average Volume used today = 50-120MB
But today i has some crazy numbers = 2,936 MB, but number of events in the database about the same from day to day.

Prompt how can I trace with any of forwarders is so much traffic?

Thank you!

You could check the metrics logs.

index=_internal source=*metrics.log group=per_host_thruput | eval MB=kb/1024 | stats sum(MB) by series
