However im currently monitoring log files from my indexer on my forwarder. Can anyone suggest a reason why this is doing this? Or is there another way to run a script of my linux machine and get the output in splunk on my indexer</P> <P>thanks for any help<BR /> steve.</P> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 12:23:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Running-scripts-from-indexer-to-linux-forwarder/m-p/138413#M28450 qazwsxedc994 2015-06-08T12:23:00Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Running-scripts-from-indexer-to-linux-forwarder/m-p/138414#M28451 <P>Hi qazwsxedc994,</P> <P>this is not the way it works. <BR /> The input you mentioned is only for universal forwarder which are configured to use the deployment server, read more here <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Updating/Aboutdeploymentserver">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Updating/Aboutdeploymentserver</A></P> <P>Take a look at the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux <A href="https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/833/">https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/833/</A> to learn more about scripted inputs <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/AdvancedDev/ScriptedInputsIntro">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/AdvancedDev/ScriptedInputsIntro</A></P> <P>Hope this helps to get you started ...</P> <P>cheers, MuS</P> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 01:15:19 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Running-scripts-from-indexer-to-linux-forwarder/m-p/138414#M28451 MuS 2015-06-09T01:15:19Z
