    <title>topic What are some best practices for Splunk universal forwarder? in Getting Data In</title>
    <link>https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/What-are-some-best-practices-for-Splunk-universal-forwarder/m-p/623768#M107311</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;My Splunk Forwarder inputs.conf looks like this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;[batch://C:\Splunk\MyApi\Local\Api\*.json]&lt;BR /&gt;index = myapi_local&lt;BR /&gt;move_policy = sinkhole&lt;BR /&gt;disabled = 0&lt;BR /&gt;source = myapi&lt;BR /&gt;sourcetype = Api&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My logging files are generating every second . Is that perhaps a little bit too excessive? What's the best practice in using the Forwarder?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;File name examples:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;MyAPI_2022-12-08 23-06-28.json&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;MyAPI_2022-12-08 23-06-29.json&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks! &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
