How to search the _internal index for banner error messages that appear on the Splunk Web UI?

How do you search for banner messages that appear on the Splunk Web Interface. I'm looking for error messages like "Unable to distribute to peer name XXXXX at uri xx.xx.xx.xxx:xxx because peer status = "Down"

I tried running index=_internal source="*web_service.log" raise from a previous post (http://answers.splunk.com/answers/81552/how-to-search-for-all-banner-messages.html), but this doesn't give me the information that I'm looking for.

I think I got it. I just ran the following search and it gave me the information I was looking for

index=_internal "Unable to distribute"

I found this which closely matches your question.

 | rest /services/messages | table title message severity timeCreated_iso published splunk_server author 

I then created an alert from this..

I guess All the error/warning messages from Splunk Web UI are stored as Splunk's internal error. May like this will give you all the errors/warnings. Of course, you can search for specific warnings.

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd log_level="WARN" OR log_level="ERROR"

Hi,
The answer of somesoni2 is good but i just want to extend his answer. Because there many values of field "log_level" use this query:
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd log_level=*
