🖥️ SPL Lab: Monitoring Forwarder Status

As an admin, you need to monitor whether your forwarders are sending data. The _internal index and the Monitoring Console are your best friends for this.

You can search the _internal index for metrics from forwarders to check their connection status, data throughput, and last contact time.

The "splunk_tcpin" sourcetype in _internal shows incoming forwarder connections on your indexer.
