Getting Data In

How to collect data from directories on remote machine into splunk indexer

Hi,

I have directories residing on D drive on my remote machine.

I have a splunk machine using which I need to collect the data from the directory on D drive on remote machine.

I had installed universal forwarder on the remote machine, but it does not help me to fetch out the information from D drive. I can fetch the data only from the eventlogs of remote machine.

Kindly help!

Thanks & Regards,
Sushma.

Hi sushma7,

best is to start reading the docs about Monitor files and directories and on edit inputs.conf. Remember this must all be done on your universal forwarder where your D drive exists.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
