Sample DNS searches and dashboards

This topic lists searches that you can perform to confirm that Windows DNS data has arrived at the indexer.

If you're using TA-Windows version 6.0.0 or later, you don't need TA_AD and TA_DNS. TA_AD and TA_DNS are merged with TA-Windows version 6.0.0.

Search Windows DNS data

To confirm that Windows DNS data is present on the indexer, use the Search app:

  1. Log into Splunk Enterprise on the indexer, if you have not already.
  2. Load the Search app. In the system bar, select Apps > Search & Reporting. Splunk loads the Search app.
  3. Try the following searches to confirm that data is present:
  4. This search confirms that the Splunk Add-on for Windows DNS are sending data to the indexer:

    eventtype=perfmon-dns

Can't find the data?

Try the following:

  • Use Forwarder Management to confirm that the Splunk Add-on for Windows DNS have been deployed to your deployment clients.
