Significant Data Ingress/Egress
Generally, one expects a client-server conversation to be greater on the download side rather than more data uploaded. This search can detect greater upload than download over a time period, like a client sending significantly more data than it receives from a server (e.g. data ex-filtration). For the best search results, query on a sourcetype […]
Character Count Per Event
Here’s an incredibly simple Splunk query to count the number of characters in an event: index=* | eval CharCount=len(_raw)
Dashboard for Splunk Infrastructure/Server Specs at a Glance
This dashboard will show the server or infrastructure specs of your Splunk environment. This is not intended to replace the Monitoring console, but rather augment as sometimes we need a condensed version of what is going on inside our Splunk environment. I’ve had fun with it on my homelab, so if you find something not […]
Detect Indexers in Maintenance Mode
This query will show any clustered indexers that are currently in maintenance mode. For it to work as an alert you will need to schedule it. It will not work if you run it in real time. sourcetype=splunkd reason=”‘Maintenance mode*” | dedup host | eval maintenance_mode_enabled=if(reason=”‘Maintenance mode started'”, “true”, “false”) | where maintenance_mode_enabled=”true” | […]

Windows Dashboard showing Who (was) logged on to ?
Dashboard with 3 separate columns which allow you to drill into 3 separate assets to find out who was logged on, when they logged on, and how they logged on. Accounts for remote logins, local logins, and unlocks/reconnects accounted for but not Type 3 (network logons for shared file access etc). Time picker set so […]
Multiple Malware Detections on a Single Host
This is a simple enough query for detecting a host with multiple infections/detections. The reason for the bucket and incorporating a search over a longer time span (say 60m) is I found it to provide better results and less false negatives if the infrastructure isn’t setup to ingest data in near real-time. index=malware category=”something_high_fidelity” | […]
Baselining Dashboard
This is better and more flexible option then timewrap in my opinion. Performance ain’t too shabby either. index=foo earliest=-1d latest=now | timechart span=10m count as Current | appendcols [ search index=foo earliest=-1mon-1d latest=-mon | timechart span=10m count as “-1 Month”] | appendcols [ search index=foo earliest=-1w-1d latest=-w | timechart span=10m count as “-1 Week”]
IPS Traffic Increase
You can use this for any type of baselining alerts around a predefined standard deviation. I used the IDS data model but the same logic can be applied to any random index. |`tstats` count from datamodel=Intrusion_Detection.IDS_Attacks where IDS_Attacks.ids_type=”network” by IDS_Attacks.dest,_time span=10m | stats count by IDS_Attacks.dest,_time| eval threshold=relative_time(now(),”-10m”) | stats max(eval(if(_time>=threshold, count null()))) as latest […]

FireEye Internals Monitoring
Summary: FireEye produces 2 types of logs: security event logs (the primary function of FireEye), and internal system logs (Logs about the appliance). Most users do not use the internal system logs, or are even aware that they are available. Sometimes, the appliances are configured to send both logs via syslog, and the messages are […]
Disk Usage per Index by Indexer
Summary: Instead of grabbing data from all time, using the dbinspect command will allow administrators to quickly determine how big an index is. There are additional fields in the dbinspect, so explore that to gain other data pivots. |dbinspect index=_internal | stats sum(sizeOnDiskMB) by splunk_server
Apdex Score
Apdex Score Apdex is a measure of response time based against a set threshold. It measures the ratio of satisfactory response times to unsatisfactory response times. The response time is measured from an asset request to completed delivery back to the requestor. It determines user satisfaction, and is based on request type & response time. All […]
