Scanning Splunk data for secret leaking?

Dear Community,

We know that there are several options to mask sensitive data before/during ingestion. But generally, how do you scan your data to check if there is any already existing leakage of secrets/tokens/password? I've googled and searched community, but I did not find anything. I thought there is a Splunk app or Splunk ES has a built-in feature to do this, like a professional, fast, effective alert or an AI/ML assisted one.

What I've done so far for a few indexes:

 

index={INDEXNAME}  | stats  values(*) AS *   | transpose  | table  column   | rename  column AS Fieldnames  | search Fieldnames=*secret* OR Fieldnames=*password*

 

(with last 15 minutes search interval)

Is there any better solution out? Or do you have better idea to handle this? How are others doing this? 

We have a Splunk Cloud Platform, but I think it would be the same for Enterprise as well.

Thank you very much!

Regards,

DG
