https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-capture-remote-Print-Server-Print-Data/m-p/462678#M8165 <P>Hi, I am trying to capture print events from the Print Servers on our network. I have enabled print logs on all print servers, and I would like to get the logs in to splunk automatically, similar to how Windows event logs automatically forward to splunk. I have looked at the instructions here <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Data/MonitorWindowsprinterinformationbut">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Data/MonitorWindowsprinterinformationbut</A> it looks like adding a "Data Input" only gets logs from the local machine. I see where it suggests editing the inputs.conf file, is that what I need to do? Will that allow the Print Logs from remote print servers to forward on to my splunk server?</P> Mon, 16 Dec 2019 19:54:53 GMT akarbs 2019-12-16T19:54:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-capture-remote-Print-Server-Print-Data/m-p/462678#M8165 <P>Hi, I am trying to capture print events from the Print Servers on our network.
