Hi,
I have a requirement to monitor windows servers from Splunk.
However, when look for an app in splunkbase, found two apps for windows. I installed WIN:Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows and configured and deployed for my needs.
I'm wondering why two apps for windows monitoring. Can someone explains what is the best fit for windows monitoring among these in Splunk for production. Thanks in Advance!!
Thanks,
Ramu Chittiprolu

hey rchittip,
The Splunk for Microsoft Windows add-on includes predefined inputs to collect data from Windows systems and maps to normalize the data to the Common Information Model whereas Splunk App for Windows gives you predefined dashboards and alerts .
The various add-ons are used to take different form of data inputs to make it compatible with the predefined dashboard queries.
You can refer the documentation for Splunk App for windows to check the add-ons required and the location for it to be installed.
