Issue:

Various internal groups pay for space in Splunk based on their needs. For example, dev teams paid for 40GB's for their application logs while Exchange team paid for 20GB's per day (just two examples). I need to be able to say if one team is exceeding what they paid for internally. We will only have two indexers so I can't separate by indexer so looks like I can't create license pools either by indexer (both indexers we have are used for everything).

Question:
If I just create separate indexes for each group, how can I see how much data was added to the index each day?

Hi,

This has been answered several times, you can always take a look into the License Usage report and can also do a split based on host, source, sourcetype and index.

Here is the detailed documentation .
