IIS logs sourcetype

[rcovert]

Hi,

I am running the Splunk indexer on a linux machine and have the universal forwarder installed on a remote Windows machine. I am monitoring IIS logs on the remote server in the Web Intelligence App.

The IIS logs are coming into the indexer fine, but they are coming in as sourcetype "u_ex". How can I set the sourcetype to IIS?

Is there anything else I will have to do to make the Web Intelligence App see these logs?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what I have in my inputs.conf file for IIS servers:

[monitor://C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC*\]
disabled = false
followTail = 0
recursive = true
index=iis

You will need to have an index on the indexer named iis or whatever value you put in the index field.

Put that on the IIS server sending the logs (on the remote server).

C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\system\local\inputs.conf

Do I put that in the inputs.conf in the Web Intelligence app (/opt/splunk/etc/apps/webintelligence/local/inputs.conf) or /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/inputs.conf?

Will C: work if the C: is on a remote server?
