Hi all,

I am trying to set up ansible playbook for splunk forwarder. Though github completely doesnot help. Has anyone automated it? If i want to add logs for monitoring with multiple source types and with different logs? how can i do this:

for ex:

  • name: add temporary monitor to create directory command: "{{ splunkhome }} add monitor {{ item }} -sourcetype syslog -auth {{ splunkcreds }}" with_items: - /var/log/syslog notify: restart_splunk

how can i use multiple logs and for each logs each source type is necessary? Any suggestions ?
