default field


default field

noun

An indexed field that Splunk Enterprise recognizes in your event data at search time.

Three important default fields are host, source, and source type, which describe where the event originated. Other default fields include date/time fields, which provide additional searchable granularity to event timestamps. Splunk Enterprise also adds default fields classified as internal fields.
