Use the Forwarder dashboards

The dashboards accessed from the Cloud Monitoring Console > Forwarder tab provide information to Splunk Cloud Platform administrators about forwarder connections and status. This information helps you ensure your forwarders are correctly transmitting data to the indexers.

For data to appear on the forwarder dashboards, you must first configure and enable the Forwarder Monitoring Setup page.

Note: A blue progress bar might appear above a panel, indicating that the Splunk platform is still generating data. Wait for the bar to disappear before reviewing the panel.

CAUTION: Do not modify any Cloud Monitoring Console (CMC) dashboard. Changing any of the search criteria, formatting, or layouts may cause inaccurate results and also override the automatic update process.
