Our team looks after 7 applications, we have 5 environments and each application sits on between 2 and 4 servers, depending on the environment. Each app instance has its own dedicated server, so in other words, given a hostname, you can figure out exactly which application and which environment it is for. At the moment, if we want to search for the logs of one of the applications (app1) in UAT, and if this app has 4 servers in UAT, the only way we can do this is by using the following search parameters source=*app1.log host=host1 OR host=host2 OR host=host3 OR host=host4 Sometimes we have a few different applications talking to each other, so we end up having to mention a long list of host names and this gets quite tedious. We have a separate team that manages Splunk across the organisation. Is there something we could be asking the Splunk team to do for us to make our searching easier? Is there something they could do that would result in us being able to do something like application=app1 environment=uat instead of having to specify host names for the environment that we are interested in? Our team would appreciate any suggestions that can make our work easier. Thank you
