I tried to determine the size of my indexes in preparation for a Splunk Cloud Migration. I figured I could use the "eventcount" command to summarise the used index storage:
| eventcount summarize=true index=* report_size=true | eval sizeGB=round((size_bytes/1024/1024/1024),2) | eval ddasUnits=(sizeGB/500)
Then I let this command also run in one of my existing Splunk Cloud stack and expected the number to roughly match what the SPlunk Cloud Monitoring console would display for DDAS storage usage. But the numbers differ wildly. Eventcount reports something like 323 TB and DDAS usage reports 590 TB.
