Splunk Search

How come the output of our tstats command is not getting written to a CSV?

Hi,

I am trying to create a lookup that has the names of all the indexes and the timestamp of the oldest event in that index.

I am running the below search for this:

|tstats earliest(_time) as oldestEvent by index | outputlookup abcd.csv

I ran this search for almost 3 hours, and even then, the search wasn't complete. Though, when hovering over the progress bar, I was able to see that the search had scanned 100% of the events, but there were no results in the CSV.

Can someone help me with this.

Regards,
Arpit

Try this:

| metasearch index=* | stats earliest(_time) as earliest_time by index

This search is also taking forever to run.

Have you tried rest command??

| rest /services/data/indexes 

Can you please confirm it's working for you?

| rest /services/data/indexes | table title minTime | rename minTime as oldestEvent, title as index | outputlookup abcd.csv

Thanks

@kamlesh_vaghela I am able to run "| rest /services/data/indexes " but there is no value under minTime field for me.
