Splunk Search

What are the best practice searches for application lifecycle & release analytics?

I'd like to implement some basic searches for application lifecycle and release analytics without getting caught up in the differences between sourcetypes and field names.

Are there any basic searches that provide application monitoring without me having to deal with the complexities of the sourcetype differences? Something akin to the Change Model concepts in the Common Information Model, perhaps?

@SloshBurch is the plan to eventually create a best practices app containing various example searches like this?

@gjanders - that can certainly be an option. The first step is to reconcile between prescriptions found all over the place. This forum allows us to learn from all about what could make these better. Incorporating such blessed material into apps will also take orchestration to make sure we're consistent with our premium apps, our new customer prescriptions, and our Essentials series of apps (from which many of these questions are also answered).

So, while the answer is 'yes', you can appreciate this to be a place for us to learn from all about ways to strengthen such searches.

Make sense?
