The issue is that when I write the log file to a folder in the app I'm getting a Checksum mismatch, which is causing issues. I don't want to use the OS' temporary folder because it needs to be OS neutral (and TMK inputs.conf doesn't allow for %TEMP% type variables), so is there a way to create temporary files within the Splunk directory that are not included in the Checksum verification?</P> <P>Thank you.</P> Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:30:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Creating-local-temporary-file-creates-Checksum-mismatch/m-p/288362#M161661 Epicism1 2017-03-26T16:30:50Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Creating-local-temporary-file-creates-Checksum-mismatch/m-p/288363#M161662 <P>Hi,</P> <P>I would use $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/</P> <P>This won't generate the checksum message.</P> Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:36:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Creating-local-temporary-file-creates-Checksum-mismatch/m-p/288363#M161662 guilmxm 2017-03-26T16:36:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Creating-local-temporary-file-creates-Checksum-mismatch/m-p/288364#M161663 <P>Brilliant!</P> Sun, 26 Mar 2017 21:55:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/Creating-local-temporary-file-creates-Checksum-mismatch/m-p/288364#M161663 Epicism1 2017-03-26T21:55:59Z
