Interesting. This has just been brought up.
Obviously this is quite possible, though will take a little work internally
since the full path to a device is not stored internally.
We do store the immediate parent hub, and presumably that hub's immediate
parent is stored in turn, so it is quite possible to recreate the path. Some
of those parentage relations might have fallen off the cache storage, so new
directory discovery searches will then need to be triggered. The hubs are
not particularly efficient in any case.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
