Hi @afolabia,
you could start using the Splunk Monitoring Console and see what you're ingesting [Settings -- Monitoring Console -- Indexing -- Inputs].
In addition you could use the License Consuption Report (Last 30 days) divided by index or sourcetype so you can understand where's the larger growth and understand if it's aligned with your plan or not.
In addition you could also check if the number of sending hosts is always the same: you can use a simple search ( | metasearch index=* | timechart count BY host).

Ciao.
Giuseppe
