I have no trouble listing all the sourcetypes associated with an index, but I need to go the other way - What are all the indexes for a given sourcetype. The search I started with for this is:
index=* OR index=_* sourcetype= SourceTypeName | dedup index | table index
However, this is very slow (not a surprise), and, more a concern, not returning all the indexes that use that sourcetype.
Is there a faster search I can use to do this and not miss associated indices?
Thanks!
Another faster method availabe 6.1 onward Splunk versions is tstats. Try something like this
| tstats count WHERE index=* sourcetype=* by index, sourcetype | fields - count
I've seen it run much faster then metasearch.

Just tried tstats - way faster. Thanks!
Hi hkl2332,
much faster to use metasearch
as it search only in the metadata of the specified indexes:
| metasearch index=* sourcetype=* | stats count by index, sourcetype | fields - count
See the docs http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.0/SearchReference/Metasearch for more details.
cheers, MuS
That'll get me a list of all the sourcetypes - any idea how to also get the indices that use that sourcetype in the resulting table?
Oh sorry my bad 🙂 mess up metadata
and metasearch
so see my updated answer 😉
Oh, of course... Thanks!!! I've run this search before, but for some reason I was totally forgetting I can order by EITHER column. Thank you!
@MuS - Is there anyway to get this working in dependent of time?
I want to list ALL index and the sourcetype.
@jagadeeshm you can run a tstats
search
| tstats count where index=* by sourcetype, index, _time | timechart sum(count) AS count by index
