For the installation I do not see the Universal Splunk Forwarder /opt/log/www1 or /opt/log/www2 and am wondering why for that and if there was any changes to it.

Hello @keldridge1

for download of required UF version , deatils on UF refer to

for mointoring  you need to create file Inputs.conf  in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local

and update following entries 

[monitor:///opt/log/www1]
disabled = 0
sourcetype = <yoursourcetype>
