I have license pooling implemented and would like to generate a report that would chart utilization per day over the past 30 days. Any ideas on how to do that? I had a report that tracked this for each host before I started pooling, but that doesn't work for the pool.
We have pooling and I try and track our license usage (and trying to trend).
I have a scheduled search that runs at 1am in the morning and writes to a summary index (summary_admin) to speed things up.
Scheduled search:
index=_internal host=LICENSE_SERVER_HOSTNAME earliest=-1d@d latest=@d type=Usage st!=splunk_metrics | rename st AS sourcetype | stats sum(eval(b/1024/1024/1024)) AS GB by sourcetype
I then run the following search in Advanced Charting:
index=summary_admin earliest=-30d@d latest=@d | timechart useother="f" span=1d max(GB) by orig_sourcetype | addtotals | sort -_time
Without the summary index it takes some time to run.
To back fill the summary index you can use the python script or use the gui and do:
earliest=-2d@d latest=-1d@d index=_internal host=LICENSE_SERVER_HOSTNAME type=Usage st!=splunk_metrics | rename st AS sourcetype | stats sum(eval(b/1024/1024/1024)) AS GB by sourcetype | collect index=summary_admin
Just change earliest and latest by one day at a time.
Something like this?
index=_internal source="*license_usage.*" earliest=-30d@d |eval MB=round(b/1024/1024,1)| eval LMB=round(poolsz/1024/1024,1)|timechart span=1d sum(MB) AS Daily_MB values(LMB) AS Limit_MB by pool
That would at least give you an idea of where to start. Other than that you could take a peek on how the searches for the Deployment Monitor are built.
Hope this helps,

Yep, I get zero output for that just like my pre-pooling search now produces, which was:
index=_internal host=indexer* todaysBytesIndexed LicenseManager-Audit source=*license_audit.log | eval Daily_Indexing_Volume_in_MBs = todaysBytesIndexed/1024/1024 | bucket _time span=1d | stats avg(Daily_Indexing_Volume_in_MBs) AS UsageMB first(licenseSize) AS LicenseSize by _time host | eval UsagePercent=UsageMB/LicenseSize*100 | eval UsagePercent=round(UsagePercent, 2) | table _time host LicenseSize UsageMB UsagePercent
