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 Splunk Universal forwader installation refer to 

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.0.4/Forwarder/Installanixuniversalforwarder#Instal... 

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

https://www.splunk.com/en_us/blog/learn/splunk-universal-forwarder.html?locale=en_us

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>
index = <yourindex>

 

[monitor:///opt/log/www2]
