Splunk Enterprise summary dashboard

The summary dashboard is the first thing you see as you enter the Search & Reporting app. It provides a search bar and time range picker which you can use to input and run your initial search.

When you add an input to Splunk, that input gets added relative to the app you're in. Some apps, like the *nix and Windows apps, write input data to a specific index (in the case of *nix and Windows, that is the os index). If you review the summary dashboard and you don't see data that you're certain is in Splunk, be sure that you're looking at the right index.

You may want to add the index that an app uses to the list of default indexes for the role you're using. For more information about roles, refer to this topic about roles in Securing Splunk.For more information about Summary Dashboards, see the Search Tutorial.
