Most sourcetypes contain authentication events of some sort. This app provides Splunk dashboards, forms, and reports which can be used to explore your authentication events across your different sourcetypes.
To do this, the app relies on the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) for authentication events. This means that the app can report on any authentication data, as long as it has been on-boarded properly, and is available through the Authentication data model.
This app requires data model acceleration, which will use additional disk space. If you are using the Splunk App for Enterprise Security, this is already enabled, and should have been factored into your retention policies. If not, you should review the documentation on data model acceleration, how it uses disk space, and how to plan for it.
As mentioned above, the app uses the CIM for authentication events. The CIM allows you to take events from a number of sources or products, and report on them in one cohesive manner, using a common set of names for fields and event types.
Provides a starting point for exploring your authentication events. Most panels will drill-down to other pages in the application.
