I'm not interested in understanding their internals at the moment, but seeing some metrics on a shiny UI.</P> <P>Could you point me to such documentations? Something that a trained monkey could follow as well.</P> <P>Thanks</P> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 11:54:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Knowledge-Management/Tutorial-for-dummies/m-p/147156#M7591 peterpan1 2014-04-30T11:54:11Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Knowledge-Management/Tutorial-for-dummies/m-p/147157#M7592 <P>See following Splunk documentations:-</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.5/Deploy/Distributedoverview">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.5/Deploy/Distributedoverview</A></P> <P>See sections </P> <PRE><CODE>Configure Forwarding Deploy the universal forwarders </CODE></PRE> <P>With this you should have your forwarder setup in UNIX box sending data to your Splunk Instance (Windows).</P> <P>After that install "Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux" on your forwarder and enable required inputs.<BR /> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixApp/latest/User/WhataSplunkAppforUnixandLinuxdeploymentlookslike">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixApp/latest/User/WhataSplunkAppforUnixandLinuxdeploymentlookslike</A></P> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:03:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Knowledge-Management/Tutorial-for-dummies/m-p/147157#M7592 somesoni2 2014-04-30T13:03:23Z
