Validator¶
The Validator checks a log field by field against the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). It reports what is missing, which fields hold unexpected values, the fix, and which use cases are affected.
- Pick a log and a data model, or leave Best fit.
- Choose how many events and over what time.
- Click Validate. Nothing in Splunk changes.
- Open a failing field to see the fix. Chuka can write it for you.
The Dictionary tab lists every field of every data model, including custom ones. History keeps every run.
