All, We configured splunk to index data from a Oracle DataBase using Splunk DB Connect App . Our database tables and data are very simple , and we are using free version of splunk . Below are our observations : Data Base Input configuration : [InputType : Tail ** Rising Column : number type Sourcetype : dbmon:kv Splunk Index : default Output format : Key-Value ] When index interval was set to AUTO , splunk indexed the data (very few new rows )at a random speed . i.e, after few hours or sometimes even after a day . When index interval is set to 60 sec - First , 10 new rows were indexed in 30 minutes .Then , for once , data (with 50 new rows ) was indexed exactly in 60 sec . After adding 150-200 new rows , indexing din't happen at all . Now we set the interval to 2 sec and inserted just 3 new rows . No indexing happened . We suspect it is because of the load on splunk server . Could anyone please tell whats the problem here . Appreciate any advise on how to make splunk index database data quickly . Please help !! ...
