Use the Forwarder dashboards

The Forwarder dashboards 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.

To access the Forwarder dashboards at any time from within CMC, you can click the Forwarder link in the navigation bar. Select the dashboard that you want to view from the menu.

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.
