Want to show what apps have been deployed to forwarders from a deployment server (DS)? Try this Splunk Search:
|
1 2 3 |
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=DeployedApplication installing | stats count latest(_time) AS latest_time by host app | convert ctime(latest_time) |
Need a list of Forwarders that are talking to a Deployment Server? Try this:
|
1 |
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=DC* Handshake | stats count by host |
Additional REST query (performed on the DS) will return desired results (Thanks to Lyx for pointing this out!):
|
1 |
| rest /services/deployment/server/clients splunk_server=local | table hostname applications.*.serverclasses | untable hostname, applications, serverclass | rex field=applications "applications\.(?.+)\.serverclasses" | stats dc(hostname) as hostname by apps |
This Splunk Query will show hosts that stopped sending logs for at least 48 hours. You’ll want to change the time range to be relevant to your environment, and you may need to tweak the 48 hour range to something that is more appropriate for your environment.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
| tstats count as countAtToday latest(_time) as lastTime where index!="*_" by host sourcetype index | eval age=now()-lastTime | sort age d | fieldformat lastTime=strftime(lastTime,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S") | eval age=round((age/60/60),1) | search age>=48 | eval age=age."hour" | dedup host |
The following Splunk query will show a table of all users and their roles:
|
1 |
| rest /services/authentication/users | stats values(roles) as Roles by user |
*Admin Notes* I’ve found the following query to work better in my environment:
|
1 |
| rest /services/authentication/users | stats values(roles) as Roles by title |
This Splunk query / search shows historical access to dashboards and apps on a local splunk server.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
index=_internal sourcetype=splunk_web_access host=* user=* | rex field=uri_path ".*/(?<title>[^/]*)$" | join title [| rest /servicesNS/-/-/data/ui/views splunk_server=* | search isDashboard=1 isVisible=1 | rename eai:acl.app as app | fields title app ] | rename title as dashboard | stats count by _time user dashboard app host |
The following Splunk query will return disk space used by the _internal index.
|
1 |
index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type=Usage | eval gb=b/1024/1024/1024 | timechart span=1d sum(gb) as GB by host useother=false | untable _time host gb | top limit=1 host | join time [search index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type=Usage | eval gb=b/1024/1024/1024 | timechart span=1d sum(gb) as GB by sourcetype useother=false |untable _time sourcteype sum(GB)] |
Easily find Splunk Instances (both forwarders and full installs) that have queues that are over 80% full!
|
1 |
index=_internal group=queue | eval percfull=((current_size_kb/max_size_kb)*100) | search percfull>80 | dedup host, name | table _time host name current_size_kb max_size_kb |
This will show events that have been sent to the null que within the splunk internal logs.
|
1 |
index=_internal component=metrics processor=nullqueue group=pipeline sourcetype=splunkd | table _time log_level name processor cpu_seconds executes, cumulative_hits |
This Splunk search will show you use and available CPU and Memory statistics. Depending on your environment you may see multiple Splunk servers:
|
1 |
| rest /services/server/status/resource-usage/hostwide | eval cpu_count = if(isnull(cpu_count), "N/A", cpu_count) | eval cpu_usage = cpu_system_pct + cpu_user_pct | eval mem_used_pct = round(mem_used / mem * 100 , 2) | eval mem_used = round(mem_used, 0) | eval mem = round(mem, 0) |eval mem=tostring(mem, "commas") | eval mem_used=tostring(mem_used, "commas")| fields splunk_server, cpu_count, cpu_usage, mem, mem_used, mem_used_pct | sort - cpu_usage, -mem_used | rename splunk_server AS Instance, cpu_count AS "CPU Cores", cpu_usage AS "CPU Usage (%)", mem AS "Physical Memory Capacity (MB)", mem_used AS "Physical Memory Usage (MB)", mem_used_pct AS "Physical Memory Usage (%)" |

Use this splunk search to get a list of all lookup files:
|
1 |
| rest /services/data/transforms/lookups | table eai:acl.app eai:appName filename title fields_list updated id |
This REST Splunk search returns the status of roles on each Splunk server in your environment.
|
1 |
| rest /services/server/introspection | table title splunk_server status updated |
Useful search to show a bit of detail on roles and user permissions.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
| rest /servicesNS/-/-/admin/directory count=0 splunk_server=local | fields eai:acl.app, eai:acl.owner, eai:acl.perms.*, eai:acl.sharing, eai:location, title | eval perms=mvappend('eai:acl.perms.read','eai:acl.perms.write') | fields - eai:acl.perms.* | mvexpand perms | where perms!="*" AND NOT [ | rest /servicesNS/-/-/authorization/roles count=0 splunk_server=local | fields title | rename title as perms ] |

Self explanatory, maps roles to indexes. Useful if you have a lot of indexes!

This query is pretty awesome! It helped enlighten us to exactly when our splunk infrastructure is being hit with users

The following Splunk search will show a list of sourcetypes (or perhaps sources I need to confirm) being sent by each Forwarder:
|
1 |
index="_internal" |where host!=splunk_server | stats values(series) as Sourcetypes by host |
The following Splunk search will return a detailed list (by message) of errors associated with hosts running a universal forwarder:
|
1 |
index=_internal sourcetype="splunkd" log_level="ERROR" | stats sparkline count dc(host) as uniqhosts last(message) as message last(_time) as last first(_time) as first by punct | convert ctime(last) ctime(first) | table message count uniqhosts sparkline first last | sort -count | rename message as "Error Output" count as Count uniqhosts as "Number of Hosts" first as "First Occurance" last as "Most Recent Occurance" |
The following Splunk Search Query will return all users who have failed to logon to the Splunk Web console. This query will also include an average (from eventstats).
|
1 |
index=_audit action="login attempt" info=failed | timechart count(user) as Failed_Attempts| eventstats avg(Failed_Attempts) as Average |
The following query will list in detail information on the universal forwarders checking into the indexer. I’ve renamed some of the fields to be more user-friendly.
|
1 |
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd destPort!="-"| stats sparkline count by hostname, sourceHost, host, destPort, version | rename destPort as "Destination Port" | rename host as "Indexer" | rename sourceHost as "Universal Forwarder IP" | rename version as "Splunk Forwarder Version" | rename hostname as "Universal Forwarder Host Name" | rename sparkline as "Traffic Frequency" | sort - count |
