Folks,

I tried to install Eventgen, however I looked no working after install instruction of GitHub. (Download from splunkbase and upload it into web UI and enabled.) My splunk is 9.0.4.1 on my windows laptop for testing.

Does anyone gove me advice, where should I check active .conf file or where I can see this app is correctly working.

Did you configure the app? (no, I don't have much experience with it but you said about installation only and it seems the app needs configuring afterwards).

Document said we don't need configure when we install this App through UI.

No. This document says that if you install eventgen as an app from splunkbase you can simply manage it as any other modular input.

So after installation you have to add input which will generate your data.

Yes, it worked.

The point to work this app is two tips in my car, right path in conf file and upload app at installation.

1st one, sample_bundle.zip has sample conf file but it is not right path for related configuration files, so we should adjust it to each installation environment.

2nd one, I don’t know why when I use online installation for this app, I found missing configuration in configuration>data input. I used file upload to do this, it worked good.

I hope this is work for you.
