Nope. If you're pushing an app with enabled input to 15 forwarders you're getting an enabled input on each of them. The typical way to handle it is to define the input as disabled within the main app and push it to all forwarders and create a small app which overwrites input's state to enabled and push this app to just one forwarder.
For putting values in a nice xy-table you can use either chart command or xyseries but... You have only X and Y. You don't have values which you'd put into the table.
I can change the return, and the time. I just need a syntax to create a table where y=time and X=saml user

No. You cannot read a lookup contents directly using a forwarder. If you want that functionality (I needed it once so that users could "edit" one particular lookup but not any other ones), you need to read the csv file contents as events into a temporary index and create a scheduled search which will read those events and do | outputlookup at the end. A bit complicated because you have to keep track when you last updated the lookup so you don't overwrite it each time.

@siv  There are two methods of ingesting:  Upload with Splunk Web: This is a one-time process done manually by the user. (Note that uploading via Splunk Web has a 500 Mb limit on file size.) Monitor from a filesystem with a UF or other forwarder: This method is for on-going ingestion over a period of time and may not require any manual intervention by the user once setup. You will need to create an app with an inputs.conf that specifies the file or path to monitor. [monitor:///opt/test/data/internal_export_local.csv] sourcetype=mycsvsourcetype index=test Create an accompanying props.conf file: [mycsvsourcetype] FIELD_DELIMITER=, FIELD_NAMES=host,source,sourcetype,component   Either create the app directly on the system ingesting the file, or create it on the Deployment Server and deploy it to the system ingesting the file, whether that’s Splunk Enterprise or a system with the Splunk Universal Forwarder installed. Once Splunkd is restarted on that system, Splunk will begin to ingest the new file.   Refer this    https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Inputs-conf-a-CSV-File-From-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/520310    https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Universal-Forwarder-and-CSV-from-Remote-System/m-p/176700

We have a Splunk app that includes multiple scripted inputs. The app is deployed to 15 heavy forwarders, but we want one of the scripts to run on only one of them. I first tried adding host = <hostname> inside the scripted‑input stanza, but I now realize that this isn't the solution. Is there a way to restrict a scripted input so it executes on only a single server, without having to split the app?

Hey @livehybrid! Thank you for taking a look at my question. I tried this way and it combines everything (meaning through different sources). I want to keep the sources separate. I replied with a little more information in another reply but I will also put it here. Here is my original query.  index=Basketball | timechart span=1d count by players limit=100 For more information I am counting something that the players did. In the players sources there is about 50 people. When I say I want it individualize, I dont want the total of Player One which is 100 to affect Player Two who has 300. In your query it combines it and the first threshold would be 28.57 VS the two players would have different thresholds. To continue on with the sample data that I presented Player One would have the first threshold be 7.142 and Player two would have the first threshold be 21.43. If this is not possible then I will understand but this is how I want the heatmap to work ideally. Does this make sense? Please let me know. I appreciate and thank you for your help. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi @gcusello. How are you? I'm the same person who had uploaded the question two years ago. How can I check if we have an Indexer Cluster? The same with the Search Head. About the MC, yes, it is a Monitoring Console. We have a total of 6 servers. 1 of them include all Distributed Search, License Manager, Monitoring Console and SHCD that I don't know exactly what is. Then we have 3 indexers servers 1 server is the Heavy Forwarder The last one is the Search Head. Regards!

Hello @bowesmana! Thank you for responding quickly and apologize for the delay. So this would work if I didnt have the heatmap to go along with it. To put more information, I will include my original query.  index=Basketball | timechart span=1d count by players limit=100 The above is my query and when I add what you typed individually it works but when I put it together no results appear. I want to use the calculation that I get from what you typed to put it in my heat graph as thresholds. Does that make more sense? For example, Lets say Lebron has a total 100 one week. once put into the equation, the product would be 7.14. This is the first threshold and it would show if he was below or above that threshold based on the color. Now another week goes by and this time the total was 300. Now the first threshold that was once 7.14 now goes up to 21.43. And the same thing happens. Does that make sense? Please let me know. Thank you for your help once again, I hope to hear from you soon!
