Apparently enabling LWF turns off udp input. What are the step steps to enable it?

Run the command

./splunk enable module input/UDP input/UDP enabled.

You should instead enable it by creating a conf file default-mode.conf containing:

[pipeline:udp]
disabled = false

Which version does this apply to? I ran it in 4.1.5 and Splunk returns a message that the command is deprecated:

sh-3.2# ./splunk enable module input/UDP This command is deprecated.
