How to find how much storage is used from logs?

[xwang333]

I have a index which would return logs. I would like to know how much storage is used for logs in a specific time range. How could I write the query or do this from UI? Thanks.

There is no log that contains that information. The closest you can get is the dbinspect command.

| dbinspect index=foo | stats sum(sizeOnDiskMB) as DiskMB

The command looks at buckets rather than events so the storage size given may include data outside the specified time range.
