Hi Team 

I could see my license limit has reached for my syslog-ng. Can you please let me know how can I get a list of all the host which are getting data from syslog via syslog-ng to splunk? 

Thanks,

AG.

Hi @arjit,

I think your are getting data from syslog-ng by file monitor. If you are not overwriting source field, you can use it as a filter.

Let's say your syslog data creates file in /var/log/splunk/syslog/...

|tstats count where index=* source="/var/log/splunnk/syslog*" by host
