Hi All,
I have a many index and sourcetypes but i don't know which one i have to use to search for specific ip address traffic with port..
please guide me like how can i identify and use the existing index and sourcetypes to analyze particular traffic.....
We don't know your data. Ideally, your site has a data dictionary with this information, but that's rare. Consult your Splunk admin about that.
You can use the metadata command to get a list of sourcetypes or use this query.
| tstats count where index=* by index,sourcetype
then take educated guesses about which sourcetype is more likely to contain the data you seek. Search that sourcetype to verify your guess.
