https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/App-for-Linux-on-Windows-Indexer/m-p/62865#M12578 <P>Hi, <BR /> I have Indexer installed on a Windows machine, which is collecting logs from a Linux machine through UDP Syslog. I have installed the Splunk for *nix app on the Windows Indexer, but I cannot configure the app to query on Linux logs and it says,"the app is not installed on a Unix machine". Is there any app specific to Linux, which can be installed on Windows indexer collecting logs from a Linux machine?</P> Fri, 13 Sep 2013 08:12:39 GMT arindam_sur 2013-09-13T08:12:39Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/App-for-Linux-on-Windows-Indexer/m-p/62865#M12578 <P>Hi, <BR /> I have Indexer installed on a Windows machine, which is collecting logs from a Linux machine through UDP Syslog.

However it needs to communicate with *nix TA (Technology AddOn) which needs to be installed on the Linux machine you want to collect the data from.<BR /> If the UDP Syslog data you want to collect is not specific for *nix app, but is your own -&gt; you don't need to have the *nix app.</P> Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:58:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/App-for-Linux-on-Windows-Indexer/m-p/62866#M12579 jtworzydlo 2013-09-13T11:58:58Z
