topic how to set multiple path in existing forwarder in Deployment Architecture https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97321#M22778 <P>Is it possible to set the multiple path in forwarder; if so please help. Coz our client is using splunk 5.2 server with 3 forwarder server. He want to include multiple path for similar kind of data pulling. </P> <P>Already he has define a path at installation for data pulling. Now he want to add another path in same forwarder server. </P> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:28:26 GMT sridharanreddy 2013-04-17T04:28:26Z how to set multiple path in existing forwarder https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97321#M22778 <P>Is it possible to set the multiple path in forwarder; if so please help.

Now he want to include one more data pulling path in his forwarder, for similar kind of data. So my question is, would it possible to add one more path in existing system without any disturbance. If so how! hope you understand my query.</P> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 05:01:10 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97325#M22782 sridharanreddy 2013-04-17T05:01:10Z Re: how to set multiple path in existing forwarder https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97326#M22783 <P>I thought I understood it but now I'm not so sure. The document I linked to shows you how to add data inputs through various means. On a forwarder you would do it via the CLI or via a configuration file. The document outlines how to do both. What information are you missing?</P> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 05:39:54 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97326#M22783 Ayn 2013-04-17T05:39:54Z Re: how to set multiple path in existing forwarder https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/how-to-set-multiple-path-in-existing-forwarder/m-p/97327#M22784 <P>Yes Ayn, <BR /> 1 - Can we add multiple (more then one) instance of data source in CLI (inputs.conf)? <BR /> 2 - how to add one more instance of data source in configuration file?<BR /> 3 - If we add one more instance of data source whether it will effect the existing system ?
