Is it possible to monitor the Splunk license remotely anymore? With Splunk 4.1 I was using the http://splunkserver:8089/services/license/license page to parse currentDailyUsageAmount, licenseDailyUsageLimit, expirationDate, etc.
Previous to Splunk 4.1 there was yet another method that was used to get license information. It seems that this changes every release.
I wrote a nagios script with PHP to get what I needed via REST. Send me a message if you want the script. It is basically this though:
I have created a c# application(Windows Service) using Splunk SDK C# to monitor splunk licence.
if the indexed data exceeds the value you enter it will disable all UDP inputs and enable them after midnight
The link to the application is down below fell free to change it to your needs.

Hurrican Labs released a python script for nagios monitoring of your splunk license usage, and I have included the script and a fresh dashboard in the latest version of Splunk for Nagios:
