Hi, I am very new to SPLUNK and inherited an environment without much documentation. Can anyone help with the following queries.
Thank you .
Here is the Guide you need :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/InheritedDeployment/Introduction
Now you can figure much by just looking at the internal logs.
indexers : look at the splunk_server field, it tells you on which indexer the data is stored.
index=_internal | stats dc(host) count by splunk_server
heavy forwarders / forwarders : look at the metrics logs, and identify who it sending data to who , and look at the fwdType field.
index=_internal source=*metrics.log* group=tcpin_connections fwdType=*
| stats dc(hostname) values(version) values(os) by fwdType
