The poster's question is clearly asking about Windows. The Linux commands you've posted in your answer are not relevant to the question.

The add-on only comes with prebuilt dashboard panels.
Create a new dashboard
Add a panel. The "Add Panel" dialog box slides in from the right side of the screen.
Search for "Cisco UCS" in the Add Panel dialog box, or expand the "Add Prebuild Panel" section. You will then see the UCS visualizations.

I want to view what Splunk sees as the running config for my universal forwarder. I read on http://blogs.splunk.com/2012/10/02/tips-and-tricks-for-the-new-guy/ that I can run ./splunk cmd btool list but that shows me the help page. The blog also says that the command takes a config file parameter, but I don't know what the options are for the config files. Besides, I want to see all of the config info, not just one piece.
How do I tell Splunk to show me all of the config?

Interesting. It works for answers, but not for the question. When I clicked the button to submit the original question, I briefly saw something like "gt;" appear where the greater than symbol was. Maybe there's some javascript that's trying to sanitize the input and it's clobbering the greater than symbol.

Dear Splunk,
When typing a question on this site, the editor says I can blockquote by using a greater than symbol before the text. In fact, there's a button for it in the editor's toolbar.
> This text should be blockquoted.
I can see the blockquoted text in my editing preview. However, when I post the question the blockquoted part is no longer blockquoted. Instead, the greater than symbols are displayed.
It'd be great if you could fix this bug.

I have some input stanzas that look like this:
[monitor:///opt/app/master_proc*/logs/*]
[monitor:///opt/app/backup_proc*/logs/*]
[monitor:///opt/app/simulator*/logs/*]
All three of those inputs are going to a "qa" index. There are log files in other directories in the same location which I want to send to a "development" index.
I was reading http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/Monitorfilesanddirectories and saw a paragraph that said,
> "Monitor inputs may overlap. So long as the stanza names are different, Splunk Enterprise treats them as independent stanzas and files matching the most specific stanza will be treated in accordance with its settings."
Does that mean I can add a stanza after the ones above that looks like this:
[monitor:///opt/app/*/logs/*]
And it will match any files that do not match the ones above? My understanding from the documentation is that it will since it's less specific than the other three.

@smolcj, the app named Infa-Session is the one generating those queries. Disable the app to stop the searches.

Is anyone successfully using the "Splunk for F5 Networks" app on Splunk 6.1? If so, would you be kind enough to share how to set it up?
I've installed this app on my search head and my forwarder. My network administrator configured the F5 according to the instructions in the app and has the syslog data forwarding to my Splunk forwarder. I can see the log files in the F5 index in Splunk. However, nothing appears in the "Splunk for F5 Networks" dashboards when I open it.
My knowledge of Splunk is limited. I only see a sourcetype of syslog in my F5 index. It looks like the app is expecting a sourcetype of syslog and then transforms it to one of F5:AFM:Syslog, F5:iRule:WebAccess, or F5:LTM:Syslog. Is this correct? If so, do I need a heavy forward for such a transformation to occur?
I'm unsure of how I would debug this problem. I would appreciate any guidance.

Splunk 6.1's license usage reporting will let me view my license usage by index for the last 30 days, but the graph only shows 10 indexes. The rest are presumably in the entry titled "OTHER". How do I get a report that lists all of my indexes? I opened the search for the graph and viewed it in the Statistics tab, but I still have a column called "OTHER".
Here's the search that I'm using. I don't see where it's combining indexes into "OTHER".
index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="Usage"
| eval h=if(len(h)=0 OR isnull(h),"(SQUASHED)",h)
| eval s=if(len(s)=0 OR isnull(s),"(SQUASHED)",s)
| eval idx=if(len(idx)=0 OR isnull(idx),"(UNKNOWN)",idx)
| bin _time span=1d
| stats sum(b) as b by _time, pool, s, st, h, idx
| timechart span=1d sum(b) AS volumeB by idx fixedrange=false
| join type=outer _time [search index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type="RolloverSummary" earliest=-30d@d
| eval _time=_time - 43200
| bin _time span=1d
| stats latest(stacksz) AS "stack size" by _time]
| fields - _timediff

@jconger, so if I understand correctly, when using a stanza like that described in tollops' question above, I can safely omit the source line since I am explicitly specifying the sourcetype. Is that correct? If so, I believe that will fix tollops' problem since source and host_segment don't work together in this instance.

Anyone here got some recommendations for forwarding Windows event logs to Splunk without installing the Splunk forwarder software? Is there a good tool to send Windows event logs as syslog events? Our other servers and devices send their syslog data to dedicated Splunk forwarder servers. That works great so my company wants to do the same with our Windows servers.
Before anyone asks: The universal forwarder started eating up 6GB+ RAM out of 8GB on our domain controllers. It's not the first time, so it's gone and it's not coming back. So please no responses telling me to install the splunk forwarder software on the Windows servers.
Thanks.

It looks like you are using the free license for Splunk since I don't see your login name in the top of the Splunk window. Splunk's free license limits some features and it's possible that the app is trying to use those features and throwing the error when it can't access them.
I didn't see anything in the app's release notes about limitations when using the free license. You might want to email support@splunk.com and ask them if they know why their app isn't working on your server. It looks like a bug with the add-on to me.
