Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Applicability

Splunk Enterprise

Description

The "License Usage - Previous 30 Days" is one of the dashboards built into Splunk Monitoring Console. To access it, go to Settings > Monitoring Console > Indexing > License Usage > License Usage - Previous 30 Days.

The charts in this dashboard are powered by background searches that look for data in _internal index with the following characteristics: source=*license_usage.log* type="RolloverSummary"

But please note that as per documentation:
About the Splunk Enterprise license usage report view

If the license master is down during the time period that represents its local midnight, it will not generate a RolloverSummary event for that day, and you will not see that day's data in these panels.

That is, the "RolloverSummary" events are created in the license_usage.log every midnight local server time.

If Splunk is down at that time, these events will be missed. Once Splunk is up again, future "RolloverSummary" events will be generated as usual, but the missed ones will manifest in gap in the "License Usage - Previous 30 Days" dashboard.
