Hello,

I am using splunk enterprise on linux server. I want to monitor active directory logs. I installed the universal splunk forwarder on windows server and configuring ports and accounts.

I am using splunk enterprise and have not received logs from the active windows directory.

I installed addons for prerequisites.

Hi mlog,
you have to use the correct Technical AddOns (TAs).

See the documentation of Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/MSApp/latest/MSInfra/AbouttheSplunkAppforMSInfrastructure to know which TAs to deploy and what to configure on Domain Controllers.

Bye.

Have you installed https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3207/ and enabled the required inputs?
check if there is any connectivity issue between the forwarder and indexer?
Are you getting _internal logs from the active directory server/windows?
