Hi Is this particular forwarder managing to transmit any data to the indexer? As romedome suggested "Monitor another file in a different directory and confirm that you are able to index it." Does that work? If I'm interpreting the DEBUG events correctly, they appear to indicate that the fishbucket pointers are being advanced and data is being read from /var/log/snmptrapd.log. I'd check the metrics.log files on the forwarder to see if there's any reference to data being processed for the source /var/log/snmptrapd.log, or with the appropriate sourcetype. The events you're looking for will contain group=per_source_thruput, series="/var/log/snmptrapd.log" or group=per_sourcetype_thruput, series="sourcetype from inputs.conf" Can you post the inputs.conf stanza for the /var/log/snmptrapd.log input and how you're searching for the /var/log/snmptrapd.log data in Splunk web.

Hi TheProudDevil, Initially misunderstood your question. Here is my answer. It's not possible to change the mouse hover behaviour, with with the standard/build-in Splunk features. However, you can write a JavaScript file that changes the mouse hover behaviour and reference the script using the "script" attribute of "dashboard" xml tag: <dashboard script="myJavaScript.js"> Have a look at the following doc pages: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/Viz/CustomizeSimpleXML http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#dashboard Unfortunately creating such a script requires JavaScript skills. Hope that helps! ... View more
