Hello Splunk community in a nutshell my problem is i have set up splunk and a forwarder on a server, added input and output rules respectively. however I am receiving no data from the forwarders to my splunk dashboard. I am very new to the info sec world and I am following a tutorial on bluecapesecurity.com for setting up a medium home lab. I have a windows 19 server and enterprise client installed. I would love any input on possible solutions. I am sure its going to be something simple or a single setting I missed. the input.conf file is  # All Windows Event logs [monitor://C:\Windows\System32\Winevt\Logs\*.evtx] disabled = false index=winevtx the input.conf file is saved in the: C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\SplunkUniversalForwarder\local I have set up inbound and outbound rules for letting anything from the splunk program through as well as opened the port 9997
Thank you! I'd forgotten / didn't realise I could chain terms together in searches. Your last example triggered the lightbulb. Your help is much appreciated!"

Your data presentation suggests that they were obtained with stats values() which means that you'd have two separate multivalued fields. There is no relation between values in those fields. so you can't (easily) remove corresponding values from both fields. You should filter your values before summarizing them.

Hi @CuriousSplunky .. your current search query and the sample data would be better to have.. thanks.

Just to follow up with what my problem was, I had a license set for an individual instance. I thought distributed meant multiple instances of each type of Splunk Server, ie, multiple indexers, SH, forwarders, etc. I didnt realize one SH, one Indexer, and one Forwarder counted as a distributed. Either way, putting the 10 GB/day distributed license did the trick.   Now dev works

headers, but I'm still unsure of how to parse each individual value ("meteoTemp", or "meteolunarPercent" for example) into separate objects so they can represented by separate and I am confused.  Have you viewed my sample output?  meteoTemp and meteolunarPercent are extracted by spath, and tabulated in my example.  You can plot them however you want.  For example, source="mqtt://MeteoMQTT" | rex "msg=(?<msg>.+)" | spath input=msg | timechart avg(meteoTemp) as avgMeteoTemp max(meteolunaPercent) as maxMeteolunaPercent If you do not get those fields, you need to play with my emulation and carefully compare with your raw data and post data that is representative of the actual data structure.
I want to add onto this that I am also having this problem. Except the command exceeds the 360 timeout by a minute or more.

Thanks for the quick reply. That has helped in that it's extracted the "msg data" section from the headers, but I'm still unsure of how to parse each individual value ("meteoTemp", or "meteolunarPercent" for example) into separate objects so they can represented by separate and different "widgets" on a dashboard. Sticking with those same two examples, I ultimately want to plot temperature on a line chart, but show lunarPercent as a single value   Thanks.

Yeah, I was starting to consider that afterwards.  I appreciate the assistance.

So you have it - if you run the first instance you'll overwrite earlier gathered data. True, subsequent three runs will append to your lookup but only after the fourth run you'll have the full 24h-long result set. I'd rather consider summary indexing instead of building a lookup.
