Was this done by importing the default logging levels? Or is there another setting to reset that I'm missing here?

Many applications provide a public facing API that you can pull data from. One of my favorites is Zillow. Just google around and you'll find plenty of things that you can load into Splunk.

Yes I noticed this, but if you read further down it also states that
"You can also just call logging directly and your logs will appear in python.log"
As I followed in my example.

I'm trying to debug a Python script and in doing so placed some logging statements into the script.
Following these posts for the basics:
Logging from Python in Splunk
Python logging in splunk
I'm going off the simple statement here
"You can also just call logging directly and your logs will appear in python.log:"
logging.warning("Something bad happened: %s", "out of memory")
so my code looks just like
import logging
logging.info("message here")
Running it using the Splunk CLI command:
splunk cmd python ./confcheck_correlation_searches.py
And yet still nothing in python.log. Any ideas what I'm missing here?

Sticking to the old format would give us:
var tables = ['web_stat_page_tbl', 'web_diag_tran_tbl', 'web_diag_comp_tbl', 'web_stat_tran_tbl'];
for(i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
mvc.Components.get(tables[i]).getVisualization(function(tableView) {
// Add custom cell renderer
tableView.addCellRenderer(new CustomRangeRenderer());
// Add custom row renderer
tableView.addRowExpansionRenderer(new CustomRowRenderer());
});
}

I fixed it after referencing the example dashboards app. Below you can find my code.
6.2.4 code:
var tables = ['web_stat_page_tbl', 'web_diag_tran_tbl', 'web_diag_comp_tbl', 'web_stat_tran_tbl'];
for(i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
mvc.Components.get(tables[i]).getVisualization(function(tableView) {
// Add custom cell renderer
tableView.table.addCellRenderer(new CustomRangeRenderer());
// Add custom row renderer
tableView.table.addRowExpansionRenderer(new CustomRowRenderer());
// Force the table to re-render
tableView.table.render();
});
}
6.3.0 code:
var tableElement = mvc.Components.getInstance("web_stat_page_tbl");
tableElement.getVisualization(function(tableView) {
// Add custom cell renderer, the table will re-render automatically.
tableView.addCellRenderer(new CustomRangeRenderer());
tableView.addRowExpansionRenderer(new CustomRowRenderer());
});

Below is the table object in a debug view coming from Splunk 6.2.4. Here we can see the addRowExpansionRenderer is still listed under the object.
Here is the same object in 6.3. No mention of RowExpansionRenderer anywhere.

After upgrading to Splunk 6.3, it seems the previous web framework for Javascript does not work properly.
My jscript is getting a TypeError: tableView.table.addRowExpansionRenderer is not a function error when being run under a 6.3 instance.
The code I'm using is expanding upon the concepts provides here
Anyone know if there were changes to the web framework and how to accommodate those changes?

You can use this view to see which sources are using up a large amount of volume on your Splunk server.

If you are sending perfmon stats from each host you may want to change the interval the metrics are sent at. I've got my boxes all sending stats every 20 seconds (as seen below) and that works just fine. I believe the default for the Windows App is 10 seconds. Below is an example from inputs.conf
[perfmon://CPU Load]
counters = % Processor Time;% User Time
instances = _Total
interval = 20
object = Processor

I went ahead and threw together a modification to the update_lookup.js file. The addition is an UpdateAll button that when pressed will update all visible rows.
Though I need your help. I'm having an issue.
Once the updates are pushed the rows don't actually show the changes until the web page is reloaded. I believe this is due to the context being pushed to only the children of the row that the button was clicked. Any assistance will be great.

A recommendation for something to add to the Lookup Updater is the ability to update all changes. Only being able to change one row at a time is rather a pain when you need to make many changes.
Really love the view though. Thanks for putting this out there.

You'll need to use javascript if you're looking to use icons without rangemaps. Below you'll find a segment of my code that is placing icons in a table. Instead of a rangemap you'll see that this is choosing the icon based on conditionals and the cell value itself.
Go here if you have never used javascript with dashboards before. My code is expanding upon these concepts.
var CustomRangeRenderer = TableView.BaseCellRenderer.extend({
canRender: function(cell)
{
return _(['SLA']).contains(cell.field);
},
render: function($td, cell) {
var template_settings="";
console.log("cell: ", cell);
if (cell.field === 'SLA') {
var value = cell.value;
if( value == '-1') {
$td.addClass('nopadding').addClass('range-cell').addClass('range-na');
// $td.text(value);
$td.text('N/A');
var msg='No Response Time SLA defined for this transaction.';
template_settings = '<div class="data-box" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="'+msg+'"><div class="sla-good" style="background-color:#222222; width:100%"></div></div>';
}
else if ( value == '0') {
$td.addClass('nopadding');
var msg='Transactions failed response time SLA as defined in terms of 90th percentile';
template_settings = '<i class="icon-alert-circle" title="Failed"></i>';
}
else {
$td.addClass('nopadding');
var msg='Transactions passed response time SLA as defined in terms of 90th percentile';
template_settings = '<i class="icon-check-circle" title="Passed"></i>';
}
}
$td.html(_.template(template_settings));
//$td.children('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
}
});

@demodav you can find my solution here:
https://github.com/ConnorRules/Dynatrace-Plugin-Splunk-Forwarder/blob/master/src/com/compuware/SplunkForwarder.java
The parts you'll want to look at in particular are:
line 106 - setting up the login arguments
line 113 - creating a service instance that is connected to the splunk server
line 184 - getting the output stream to a specific index
line 214 - writing to that stream
Should be pretty self explanatory. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Woodcock,
I'm using a similar syntax and noticed that this:
"timechart span=1w sum(a) AS sumA BY b | eval sumA=sumA/total"
works and this:
"timechart span=1w sum(a) AS sumA | eval sumA=sumA/total"
does not.
Is there any specific reason that this is the case? Hard coding a number in place of total works in all cases.

There's a few paragraphs in the documentation that may shed some light:
If you apply the collect command to events that do not have timestamps, it designates a time for all of the events using the earliest (or minimum) time of the search range. For example, if you use collect over the past four hours (range: -4h to +0h), it assigns a timestamp four hours previous to the time the search was launched to all of the events without a timestamp.
If you use collect with an all-time search and the events do not have timestamps, Splunk Enterprise uses the current system time for the timestamps.

Check if the events are indexed under main. That way we know the data is coming through.
There's also more locations that inputs.confs can reside. Look into the etc\apps\ directory. Most of my forwarders use the Splunk_TA_windows app for a lot of my windows log monitoring.

You're assumption is correct. So you're saying that the data in index1 can be searched faster?
This data is coming from a custom made script. If the trade off for larger file size is quicker results then I will leave the formatting as is. Otherwise if there were no pros to having the events formatted as such I would change it to be simpler.
Thanks for the heads up. Are there any reference docs available related to this?

I believe there is a character limit for events. So even if there were a handful of rogue events that still couldn't account for the tenfold size increase.

There are more field extractions occurring in the heavier events. So that could possibly be the case.

I have two indexes that contain different sets of events.
Index 1
Event Count – 23,952
Current Size – 19
Index 2
Event Count – 431,026
Current Size – 20
The size is the same, but the number of events is drastically different. This would make sense except that the events in both indexes are generally the same length. Any explanation for the difference in size here?
