Run MC Health Checks on scheduled basis and email results?

[woodcock]

Is there an easy/supported way to have the health checks on the Monitoring Console be run on a schedule and create alerts of any kind (e.g. email) so that it can be automatic?

Best thing to do IMHO is deploy your searches as your own app and expose them through Splunk Secure Gateway to the Splunk Mobile app or Splunk TV.  It works great and has kept me out of trouble several times.

Sure you could do that, but then you'd have to maintain those searches over time as splunk updates change/add checks.

Hey,

have you tried to copy the searches from the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_monitoring_console/default/checklist.conf config manually? You have to adjust a few things (like replacing the macro) but the searches should work just fine after that.
