Use the following simple tstats query to return the latest time events came in for a given index as well as list all sourcetypes for each index:
|
1 |
|tstats values(sourcetype) as Sourcetype latest(_time) as Time groupby index | convert ctime(Time) |
This search counts the amount of times the UF’s throughput limit is hit. I also threw in a sparkline:
|
1 |
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd "current data throughput" | rex "Current data throughput \((?<kb>\S+)" | eval rate=case(kb < 500, "256", kb > 499 AND kb < 520, "512", kb > 520 AND kb < 770 ,"768", kb>771 AND kb<1210, "1024", 1=1, ">1024") | stats count as Count sparkline as Trend by host, rate | where Count > 4 | rename host as "Host" rate as "Throughput rate(kb)" count as "Hit Count"| sort -"Throughput rate(kb)",-Count |
Using the Splunk Tstats command you can quickly list all hosts associated with all indexes:
|
1 |
|tstats values(host) where index=* group by index |
The following Splunk query will show the hosts taking an abnormally lengthy time to scan (helps find that needle in a haystack) within the Qualys Sourcetype:
|
1 |
sourcetype="qualys:hostDetection" eventtype=qualys_host_summary_event SCAN_DURATION> 1800 | sort -SCAN_DURATION | table IP, DNS, OS, SCAN_DURATION |
I take no credit for this. These queries were discovered on Tarun Kumar’s blog.
Useful search to show a bit of detail on roles and user permissions.

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 query was modified from the Splunk Health Overview app on Splunkbase. This particular Splunk search returns a list of hosts with their indexes and sourcetypes and determines when each last sent data. This query can help diagnose which Splunk Universal Forwarders may be having issues sending data, or simply stopped sending a […]
Can we get a Splunk Query that list of hosts added to Splunk in a month. Â Like Month 1 : 200 devices added Month 2: 400 devices added You would do this:
|
1 |
host=* | stats dc(host) as host by date_month |
(Edits Made and query provided by the GoSplunk Ninja)
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" |
This Splunk Search Query will perform a rest call to indicate current memory consumption on the Splunk server(s) itself/themselves: *NOTE* The following has been modified from the “Distributed Management Console” to be more generic for a copy, paste, and search example.
|
1 |
| rest splunk_server=* /services/server/status/resource-usage/hostwide  | stats first(normalized_load_avg_1min) as load_average first(cpu_system_pct) as system, first(cpu_user_pct) as user first(mem) AS mem first(mem_used) AS mem_used by splunk_server | fields splunk_server mem mem_used | eval pctmemused=round((mem_used/mem)*100)."%" | table splunk_server pctmemused | rename splunk_server as "Splunk Server" pctmemused as "Percent of Memory Used" |
This query has in the past help me track down issues between forwarders and indexers, and even on occasion finding some time sync issues. Feel free to tweak, modify, and improve upon this query as I’m not 100% certain the math will work in your favor outside of highlighting (positive or negative) time differences!

index=* |eventstats max(_time) as MAXt max(_indextime) as MAXit by host|eval timediff=round(MAXt - MAXit)| convert ctime(MAXit) as idxtime ctime(MAXt) as Date |dedup timediff host | table idxtime Date timediff host | sort - timediff | rename Date as "Timestamp of Event" idxtime as "Index Time Timestamp" |
The following Splunk Search Query will return results based on the last time a forwarder (universal forwarder, heavy forwarder, or otherwise) checked in. The query is a modified version of a query that was packaged with the Deployment Monitor app.
