The host is not contained within the data, but rather is part of the file name. (hostname.cpuinfo.txt, hostname.proxyinfo.txt...)Is there anyway to tell splunk to programmatically pick up this information? </P> Tue, 22 May 2012 17:31:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/getting-host-from-file-name/m-p/57603#M11260 a212830 2012-05-22T17:31:44Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/getting-host-from-file-name/m-p/57604#M11261 <P>You can set it for each file via regex in inputs.conf.</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/setadefaulthostforaninput#Dynamically_set_the_default_host_value">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/setadefaulthostforaninput#Dynamically_set_the_default_host_value</A></P> Tue, 22 May 2012 17:44:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/getting-host-from-file-name/m-p/57604#M11261 sdaniels 2012-05-22T17:44:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/getting-host-from-file-name/m-p/57605#M11262 <P>Thanks! That did it. I used the host_segment parameter.</P> Tue, 22 May 2012 20:06:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/getting-host-from-file-name/m-p/57605#M11262 a212830 2012-05-22T20:06:49Z
