How to list servers sending logs to Splunk along with source & sourcetype details

Hi,

I need to list all the Source Server Details (Hosname and IP Address) including log paths & Log File names which are sending logs to Splunk environment. The following query doesn't fetch the IP Address. Is there any better way to do it?

index=* 
| stats values(source) as sources ,values(sourcetype) as sourcetype by host

Try below mentioned SPL, work normally if you are not on Splunk cloud environment. Please check and let us know if works

| tstats  values(source) as sources ,values(sourcetype) as sourcetype where index=* by host
| lookup dnslookup clienthost as host OUTPUT  clientip as src_ip

Check this query. In results host might contain IPs, hostname or just names of the source. You need to map host values with IPs using a csv lookup.

| metasearch index=*
| stats count by index,source,host,sourcetype

Do you have a lookup table that maps host names to IP addresses?
