Splunk Search

Check multiple hosts for existence

Path Finder

I have list of around 100 hosts that are sending data to index and I would love to return a table with hostname and status of 0 (didn't receive any date from it in selected time range) and 1 (did receive the data).

I am able to search through multiple hosts with OR like `host=test1 OR host=test2 OR ...` but I am not sure how to display status 0 at hosts that are not found.

What would be efficient solution for this please?
