2. add needed splunk server throu /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk add forward-server ....

4. copy from default to local inputs.conf file with

Shows stats per CPU (useful for SMP machines)

[script://./bin/cpu.sh]
sourcetype = cpu
source = cpu

disabled = 0
5. restart splunk

File monitor working fine, but CPU utilization not. No errors in splunkd.
