Use the Indexing dashboards
Data that you send to Splunk Cloud Platform is stored in indexes. Managing your indexes and their data is important to ensuring the speed and quality of your search results and the accuracy of your data insights.
The Indexing dashboards help you administer the following indexing and related functionality in your deployment:
- Thoroughly review your indexes, including their performance, current data consumption, and remaining storage capacity, and events and indexing rate of an individual index.
- Manage the quality of your data and correct parsing errors encountered during the conversion process.
- Monitor the progress of HTTP Event Collection tokens within your deployment, if you enabled this functionality.
You can self-manage your Splunk Cloud Platform index settings. See The Indexes page in the Splunk Cloud Platform Admin Manual.
To access the Indexing dashboards at any time from within CMC, you can click the Indexing 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.
