Splunk Enterprise

Using Time Series Indexes

We recently upgraded from Splunk Enterprise 6.1.4 to 8.0.5. We collect quite a bit of Windows Performance counters.  I see that time series indexes are available as per this. Being a Splunk part-timer I'd assume it's a no brainier to start using these for performance counter collection? Seems like that's the entire reason they were brought into the product? Do they save on license count?

 

PS: Obviously I might have to modify a few dashboards and queries but I'm OK with that.
