Hi @akankshayadav,

I haven't your issue in my Splunk, which version are you using?

My only hint is to open a Case To Splunk Support.

Ciao and Happy Easter.

Actually a little more searching and I found the answer here (https://community.splunk.com/t5/Knowledge-Management/How-to-fix-misleading-quot-What-to-search-quot-...). I also on my experimental/learning box (latest version) had enabled (under Settings -> Roles -> Admin -> Indexes) the * (All non-internal indexes) and the _* (All internal indexes) to be default and this immediately allowed data summary to work and see all the indexes.  I can see how, by default, you might not want to have this enabled for the admin account.

I think in courses you do, they may enable this by default for your accounts on non-internal indexes to make it easier for you to configure things, so I had not had to configure it myself.

Good Day.  I was curious if you had ever found an answer here.  I noticed the same thing, logged in about 3 days later, and the data had been populated (but not for the data I had put in the day before.  I assume there is a search that populates this data, but it only runs maybe 1/x per day or week.
