Splunk for unix: Do we need to edit ALL inputs.conf files?

Or is it enough just to do this on the indexer? I'm in the midst of fine-tuning things, and it would be great if I could alter timing intervals and what is being monitored from just one place. I saw this question asked before, but the answer was painfully ambiguous.

Not sure which question/answer you are referring to.

You need to alter the interval and toggle enabled/disabled where ever the inputs are being collected, most likely on the forwarder.

Have you looked at the Splunk Deployment Server?
