Reporting

User audit report

Hello, I am enhancing an existing Splunk instance and I want to build or find a report that will tell me who accessed the system and when, and what searches or reports they ran. Is there a canned report that will tell me this information? If not, can someone help me define the search to turn up this information? Thanks.

You may want to look at the reports provided by SOS (splunk-on-splunk) app. They have reports with data like "UI Search Activity by User","Recent Usage by User (Non-Scheduled Only)"

This may be close to what you want:

index=_audit action=search search=* NOT "typeahead" NOT metadata NOT "|history" NOT "AUTOSUMMARY" 

You may want to play around with it to include/eliminate certain searches.

Thanks in advance
