Yes, right now I'm using the api.cloudflare.com to index logs based on a range of times (grab last 5 minutes of data) and save into a json file that Splunk indexes. This has become unreliable.
Is your code leveraging the Python CloudFlare API modules?

Actual solution - The issue was Blackboard does not write complete events but instead queues data, writes, pauses to queue again and writes. Splunk support advised - As Splunk's tailing process can see the pause and interprets the complete event has been written and then tries to ingest the data. A majority of the time the data is written as complete events but not always. Easy way to check for bb-access-log accuracy is have search look if there are logs that do not contact source ip (e.g. NOT src_ip=*)
To resolve add time_before_close to forwarder inputs.
time_before_close = 30
Doc: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.6/Admin/Inputsconf
time_before_close = integer
Modtime delta required before Splunk can close a file on EOF.
Tells the system not to close files that have been updated in past seconds.
Defaults to 3.

Found the issue - The logs are being written in incomplete chunks by blackboard. Splunk is indexing logs as it sees it.
Hard learned lesson to tail your files to see how they are being written.

Blackboard has changed the format of the bb-access-logs to include session information. With the new data the logs are being split into several logs and some are being indexed with the wrong timestamp. Is anyone else working with these logs and successfully indexing them?
Splunk universal forwarder, inputs.conf:
[monitor:///usr/local/blackboard/apps/tomcat/logs/bb-access-log.*.txt]
index=oc_dev
sourcetype=bb-access-log
ignoreOlderThan=1h
Splunk indexer props.conf:
[bb-access-log]
TIME_FORMAT = %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 85
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = False
TRUNCATE = 25000
LINE_BREAKER = ([\n\r]+)(\b(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])(?:\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])){3}\b)\s((\b(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])(?:\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])){3}\b)|\-)\s
EXTRACT-webcampus_access-fields = (?<src_ip>\b(?:(?:2(?:[0-4][0-9]|5[0-5])|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9])\.){3}(?:(?:2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-5])|[0-1]?[0-9]?[0-9]))\b)\s(?<dest_ip>.*?)\s(?<HTTPComponent>.*?)\s(?<duid>.*?)\s(?<dateInternal>\[(.*?)\])\s(?<HTTP>\"(.*?)\")\s(?<http_status_code>.*?)\s(?<unknownDigits2>.*?)\s(?<http_user_agent>\".*?\")\s
Example of possible log formatting:
ip_address ip_address http_code duid [%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z] "http activity" digit digit "browser information" "session information" digit digit
ip_address - http_code duid [%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z] "http activity" digit digit "browser information" "session information" digit digit
ip_address - http_code {unset id} [%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z] "http activity" digit digit "-" "-" digit digit
- - - {unset id} [%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z] "http activity" digit digit "-" "-" digit digit

Passing tokens to a pivot dashboard:
Using simple xml I created a dashboard with a dropdown selector.
All my dashboard panels were created with a pivot search.
When creating the search I added the token $host$ into the filter and saved the dashboard.
The dashboard works as expected
Is there any unintended consequences with using pivot this way?
Dropdown search:
<populatingSearch fieldForValue="selected_host" fieldForLabel="selected_host">
<![CDATA[| pivot WebCampus_Access webcampus_authentication SPLITROW host AS "selected_host" SORT 100 host]]>
</populatingSearch>
Dashboard searcH:
<searchString>| pivot WebCampus_Access webcampus_authentication count(evt_code) AS "Count of event_code" SPLITROW _time AS "_time" PERIOD auto SPLITCOL host FILTER evt_code = 0 FILTER host is $selected_host$ SORT 0 _time NUMCOLS 100</searchString>

Looking for best practices/guidance
Our organization has several departments. Each department maintains their own Windows/Unix servers. Forwarders (mixture of universal/heavy) are installed on each server. We have a single Splunk instance (indexer and search head to same machine). We have a requirement that each department should only see data generated by their equipment. We would like to use the Splunk Windows and Linux apps. We have been restricting access by index but these apps use index=os by default.
What is the best approach for deploying the apps while restricting access to the data per department?
