Set a default index for all INPUTS within a specific app only

[eden881]

I have an app with a long list of inputs. I want to set them to go to a specific index (let's say index = my_index).
I can achieve this by placing index = my_index under the [default] stanza in the app.

However, will this affect other apps on the forwarder with their inputs set to default?
I deploy this app with a Deployment Server to several UFs.

Eventually I tried it out myself, and found out that the [default] stanza only affects the inputs in it's specific app.

I tried this on a server and found the opposite to be true. It was setting index across all stanzas at leas the ones set in etc\system\default\inputs.conf for the forwarder.

Settings in .conf files are not app-specific, they are stanza-specific. Values in the [default] stanza apply to all inputs in all apps unless overwritten by the [default] stanza in another app that is processed first. btool can tell you what settings will apply.

I think this is incorrect, as I tried it and found out that [default] only affects the inputs in the specific app...
