Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure: Does anyone know where could I get a eventgen.conf for the app as starting point?

[claudiocruz]

I'm trying to generate data using eventgen for the APP for Windows Infrastructure but I can't find the eventgen.conf within the app directory.
Does anyone know where could I get a eventgen.conf for the app as a starting point?
Is that even provided with this app?

Any assistance is appreciated.

do you have the eventgen app on your splunk instance?
install the splunk TA for windows, navigate to the default directory, youll find eventgen.conf file there.
you can find sample data in teh samples directory of the same app.
enable the eventgen and windows data will start populating your App for Windows Infrastructure dashboards.

hope it helps

hello @adonio ,

I have setup the event gen and the data for the windows app is coming to the index. I want to configure the same for different hosts though, i tried adding the host.replacement token but it does not seem to work. any suggestions?

thanks,
