Hi,

The Splunk warnings that we see in license master - is it based on license_usage log's type=Usage or type=RollOverSummary?

Earlier i had raised a different question on these types - https://answers.splunk.com/answers/397911/what-is-the-difference-between-rolloversummary-and.html

The splunk documentation or splunk wiki doesn't talk much about the differences between these types?

Could you please help to understand this better.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Updated -
We need to use type="RolloverSummary" only.

Navigate path, to go to Licensing Page -
Settings -> Distributed Management Console -> (3rd tab) Indexing -> Licensing
