Getting Data In

Email Input

Hello Splunkers,

I'm wondering the best way to index an email. Not email server logs, the actual mail.

There are a couple apps that maybe help with this but they are very old:

https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1739/

Has anyone already did this? Any advice?

I'm using Splunk 8. That's why I need an updated solution. 😕

One “temporary” solution is set up a HF (with 7.3.x) where run this until someone get better solution.
