The app says that it needs to be installed on the indexers and the search heads, but how is the app to gather information (and perform the ' netstat -stu ' command mentioned in the docu) from the UF's without it being installed there as well?
I must be missing something simple.
Having a quick look at the inputs, its been designed to run netstat on the indexers, not the forwarders.

That's how it appears to me as well, though the app's documentation talks about using syslog-ng on UF's and how it can gather additional metrics on the UF's.. Bummer.
I guess you cold configure the UF app to run the same script on the forwarders too?
Hmmm.. have a CRON job run the script and output it to a file that the UF watches... That is an idea!
I meant as a scripted input - then you can manage it from your deployment server, without having to resort to cron.
Got it! That's a better idea, working on that now.
Brilliant. That's working, thank you for the suggestion!
Note for anyone else who may have a Windows deployment server and a *nix UF - you'll have to check/change the file permissions / owner on the .sh file after deployment,
