How can I generate a SPL search to get data on Splunk licensed users along with their license usage (Total and Average) over a 60 days period?

I have searched Answers and I couldn't find what I was looking for.

Go to Settings>Licensing >Usage report > Previous 30 days > Open in search > Time range picker for past 60 days

Or do this

index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-60d@d   | eval _time=_time - 43200 | bin _time span=1d | stats latest(b) AS b by slave, pool, _time | timechart span=1d sum(b) AS "volume" fixedrange=false | join type=outer _time [search index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-60d@d | eval _time=_time - 43200 | bin _time span=1d | stats latest(stacksz) AS "stack size" by _time] | fields - _timediff  | foreach * [eval <<FIELD>>=round('<<FIELD>>'/1024/1024/1024, 3)]

Hi,

I have the same problem here. Tried to set it to 60 days but it only shows 30 day data by using your spl.

Since Splunks licensing model is based off data indexed and not tied to users, this is not possible. A user cannot consume licenses, the only thing that can consume licenses is by adding more data into Splunk. By average licenses used, can you give me an example of what your looking for? Do you want average license amount consumed per month? Why get averages when you have the total amount per day?

I'm still not clear about what you're looking for

Here's a query which will find the average of 60 days worth of data

index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-60d@d pool="rtg_pool" | eval _time=_time - 43200 | bin _time span=1d | stats latest(b) AS b by slave, pool, _time | timechart span=1d sum(b) AS "volume" fixedrange=false | join type=outer _time [search index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-60d@d pool="rtg_pool" | eval _time=_time - 43200 | bin _time span=1d | stats latest(poolsz) AS  "pool size" by _time] | fields - _timediff  | foreach * [eval <<FIELD>>=round('<<FIELD>>'/1024/1024/1024, 3)] | stats avg(volume)
