Ingest health monitoring includes receiving an event stream of events in a data intake and query system to store on at least one storage system and obtaining an event from the event stream. Ingest health monitoring further includes transmitting the event to a selected ingest module queue for the event, updating an output rate indicator counter for the selected ingest module queue when failure to store the event in the ingest module queue occurs, obtaining the event from the selected ingest module queue, processing the event to generate a file for the event, and transmitting the file to the at least one storage system. Ingest health monitoring further includes updating the write failure indicator counter for a storage system of the at least one storage system when failure to transmit to the storage system occurs and updating the user interface based on the output rate indicator counter and the write failure indicator counter.
