Is my splunk healthy? daily admin procedure wanted

[dkeck]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has got a wide range of experience in administrating and maintaining a healthy splunk environment, and would be willing to share some of his/hers best practises.

I just want to learn more about how to keep splunk healthy. Besides the MC (Monitoring Console) and several alerts to reoccurring issues, what do you do on a daily basis, or what did you automated to make sure your environment (costumer environment) is running healthy?

I recently discovered trackme, an app that really helps with the pain of data sources suddendly missing.

Are there any other helpful apps that you would recommend for this kind of purpose?

All kind of ideas/hints are appreciated.

Thank you

Kind Regards

David

Splunk had one inbuilt.

Find the health check at Monitoring Console > Health Check. Start the health check by clicking Start.

It will give you many details you require

Thank you for contributing, but this is not what I was looking for. I am looking for automated ways beside the Monitoring Console.
