Hello,

I have one question about monitoring HF.

I found many ways how to get outgoing data rate on HF (how mach data HF sends to IDX), but how to find incoming data rate on HF? In other words, how to find how many data coming from sources to HF (in total is enough for me)? Is any metric like this in Splunk log? Thanks for help in advance.

Best regards

Hi

I’m afraiding that there isn’t this kind of metrics on Splunk’s log on UF/hf. You must get this information from os level. But even there it could be hard to define which connections contains splunk input data and which one are for other purpose. Easiest way to collect network traffic from UF side is install Unix TA on that client and use it.
