After rigorously finding any help, created separate alert where if there is violation of license send me an alert along with top 10 consumers of license.

If anybody wants to know let me know about it.

I don't know if this will answer your question directly, but I made a custom dashboard to divvy up my usage so that I can narrow down what index or sourcetype is a problem. I can then search by that sourcetype and see who the offending host might be.

That said, paste this into a new dashboard "source" edit.

<form>
  <label>Splunk License Usage</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="true">
    <input type="time" token="dashboard_time" searchWhenChanged="true">

Thanks it's very helpful, but i want usage by hosts too, i'll see that try to do it on my own.
But precisely wanted an alert where for e.g. my license of 100 GB exceeds and i get an violation alert along with top 10-15 consumers by host.
Thanks any way!
