I am wondering can we manage log files we monitor e.g /var/log/mylog.log via splunk inbuilt log management. I mean just adding entries in local-log.cfg ?</P><P>thanks a lot</P> Wed, 24 Mar 2021 19:56:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-log-management/m-p/545217#M90914 singhba1 2021-03-24T19:56:36Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-log-management/m-p/545219#M90915 <PRE>Example here:<BR /><BR />appender.A1=RollingFileAppender appender.A1.fileName=/var/log/mylog.log appender.A1.maxFileSize=250000000 appender.A1.maxBackupIndex=5 appender.A1.layout=PatternLayout appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{%m-%d-%Y&nbsp;%H:%M:%S.%l}&nbsp;%-5p&nbsp;%c -&nbsp;%m%n</PRE> Wed, 24 Mar 2021 20:00:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-log-management/m-p/545219#M90915 singhba1 2021-03-24T20:00:22Z
