Refine your search:

A few days ago I found a new sourcetype on the summary page of sourcetype=131228018 with 1.3B events and a last update of "12/31/1969 16:00:00"

I'm at a loss on how to find this data, I can't search for it in the interface. All Time returns no results, and it won't let you choose a date prior to 1/1/1970. Briefly looking at the indexes, I don't see any buckets with larger than expected spans.

How can I find these events so that I can correct and purge them?

Just worked with Octavio down in the answers lab, with Vincent from PS, and found the issue with the help of the S.o.S. app they released.

The problem was corrupted metadata in the indexes, caused by a bug when the deploymentServer initiates a restart of the indexers. I'm currently in the process of cleaning up the data using "splunk cmd splunkd fsck".

When you search on "sourcetype=131228018" that should find it, if you're searching all time. If not, that's a bug.

That's what I would expect as well, but returns 0 events. Currently have a case open with support, but figured I'd drop it out here as well.

try this search with all the time:

index="*" sourcetype="*131228018*"
