OK. Let's back up a little. You have static csv files which you uploaded to Splunk. Now you're trying to get them from Splunk with PowerBI. Why the extra step? As far as I remember you can just set up an ODBC connection to a CSV file (in case PowerBI can't handle a raw file on its own). What's the point of dropping in Splunk as the middle man?

In Splunk's indexing process, buckets move through different stages: hot, warm, cold, and eventually frozen. The movement from hot to cold is a managed and intentional process due to the roles these buckets play and their interaction with Splunk's underlying data architecture. 1. Hot Buckets: Actively Written Hot buckets are where Splunk is actively writing data. This makes them volatile because they are still receiving real-time events and may be indexed (compressed and organized) as part of ongoing ingestion. Technical Limitation: Because of their active state, they can't directly roll into cold storage, which is designed for more static, read-only data. 2. Warm Buckets: Transition to Stability Once a hot bucket reaches a certain size or the active indexing period ends, it is closed and then rolled into a warm bucket. This transition is important because warm buckets are no longer being written to, making them stable but still optimized for searching. Reason for the Warm Stage: The warm stage allows for efficient search and retrieval of data without impacting the performance of the write operations happening in hot buckets. Why Hot Can't Skip Directly to Cold Active Writing: Hot buckets are being actively written to. If they were to move directly to cold, it would require Splunk to freeze and finalize the data too early, disrupting ongoing indexing operations. Search and Performance Impact: Splunk optimizes warm buckets for active searches and allows warm data to remain in a searchable, performant state. Cold buckets, being long-term storage, are not indexed for real-time or high-performance search, making it impractical to move hot data directly into cold without this intermediary warm phase. Conclusion: The design of the bucket lifecycle (hot → warm → cold) in Splunk ensures that data remains both accessible and efficiently stored based on its usage pattern. The warm bucket stage is crucial because it marks the end of write operations while maintaining search performance before the data is pushed into more permanent, slower storage in cold buckets. Skipping this stage could cause inefficiencies and performance issues in both data ingestion and retrieval processes.
The Splunk Validated Architectures manual should help.  You may be interested in the M3/M13 or M4/M14 models.  See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SVA/current/Architectures/M4M14

OK so your search for your report is discounting the data from the other sources (for some reason). What is this search? What is it doing to discount the other sources?

Actually i have to connect Splunk with power bi. And I have to save the result of search query as a report so I can connect my report with power bi.. the report is created only for the data that is displayed from search query. if the search query do not display data for other table, it is not contained in the report and hence in the power bi.
That's awesome. Glad it worked for you too
Just to be clear, are you saying that your sample data (as shown) has been ingested as a single event and that there are other lines in the event which are unrelated or at least you want to ignore?
So all the data is there - what made you think you could not see it?

I get all the sources list and total events within each source  
What do you get if you do this? index="SC_POC1" | stats count by sourcetype source

Dear team, Is there any recommended way to index .zip from Azure blob Storage via Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services? If it is impossible directly, is there any preferred workaround to unzip it someway?  Big thanks!!!  
For the protocol, version 9.2.2 doesn't help either.
Same issue here, using splunk-sdk for python, four years later... any updates about these parameters..?

The data I have uploaded contains 5 CSV files (mentioned) Apartments.csv, Buildings.csv, Maintenance.csv, Energy Consumption.csv, and Security Events.csv.  I used the Splunk web interface and the Add Data feature to upload data. The search query used to search data within the index is index="SC_POC1" If I search for data in the index, then it shows data from the last uploaded table by default. As in the screenshot attached, the search query shows only data on Energy Consumption, however index "SC_POC1" contains data of all the 5 csvs. I can search for the other data like Apartments, Buildings by specifying in the query like  index="SC_POC1" source="Apartments.csv", but then it will show only Apartments data. I want to show all the data (events) in the index. For this, I used joins on the tables so that I could search for the entire data of the index. but it also did not work. I want to know if there is a better way to do this. (I am using Splunk Enterprise)

Hi @H2ck1ngPr13sT , sorry I confused searchmatch with match, please use match function. Ciao. Giuseppe
