Alfresco logs to Splunk Cloud

anandhalagaras1 — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 07:08:45 GMT

Our Servers are located in Private Subnets in EC2 instances on AWS. The Platform/Software that we are using is called Alfresco which produces log files named ‘alfresco.log’, which I wanted to be ingested into Splunk Cloud.

One is a Linux instance in a Private Subnet and the other is a Windows machine in a Private Subnet. They cannot connect to the Internet from within. They can only communicate with the Machines in their VPC.

So can you kindly let us know how to send those logs to the Splunk Cloud..

The simple answer here is you need to find a path to the internet from these machines. If the data can't get to the internet, it can't reach SplunkCloud.
If there is an egress point in another VPC to the internet or from your on-prem environment the data can get to SplunkCloud by installing the universal forwarder on the source machines and opening a path to the internet for these boxes to follow.
If you can not have these boxes communicating directly out, perhaps you need to consider an intermediate tier of forwarders that have access to internal/AWS resources and can talk to the internet. Then your data sources can send the logs to the intermediate forwarder tier which can then send the data along to SplunkCloud.
