Check index detail
The CMC Index Detail dashboard provides Splunk Cloud Platform administrators with a more granular view about the events in and performance of a specific index. Use this dashboard to more thoroughly investigate individual indexes.
Review the Index Detail dashboard
This dashboard shows six panels of information for a specified index.
To investigate your panels, go to Cloud Monitoring Console > Indexing > Index Detail. Use the following table to understand the dashboard interface.
| Panel or Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Index | The selected index value affects all panels in this dashboard.
The indexes available to you are based on user access levels. |
| Overview | Shows the uncompressed raw data size and total bucket count of the specified index. |
| Events | Shows the total number of events in the specified index, and the timestamps of the earliest and latest events. |
| Throughput: Last 24 hours (GB) | Shows the speed of the indexing rate in KB per second for the specified index over the last 24 hours.
You can split by host, source, or source type. This value is the y-axis in the graph. If the Undefined Host value appears, see the Interpret index detail results section. |
Interpret index detail results
Use the Index Detail dashboard to monitor the flow of data into the system by index. If there is an issue that affects one or more indexes, analyzing the metadata for each affected index can help you diagnose the underlying issue.
The value Undefined Host appears in the Throughput: Last 24 Hours (GB) chart when the CMC app encounters an index configuration issue and can't correctly parse the data. This issue generally indicates that the index host name is either not configured or incorrectly configured for a forwarder. For information about configuring the host for a forwarder, see the entry for hostname or host in Forward data from files and directories to Splunk Cloud Platform.
