Monitor Queue Size Without access to Search Head or Apps

Hi All,

Is it possible to monitor the queue size without access to the search head or related applications ?

I currently have a general system setup: Universal Forwarder→Heavy Forwarder→Indexer→Search Head.
And only have access to the Universal and Heavy forwarders.

I understand queue information can be found in metrics.log

How could I approach this?

Cheers,

Craig

I use the following alert to determine if our queue size is too large, over a 15m period.

index=_internal source=*metrics.log host=sh*.ourCloudName*
| stats avg(current_size) as avg_queue_size by host
| search avg_queue_size > 1000

Be sure to fixup the actual host value.
