How to configure Splunk to collect local rsyslog data (rsyslog and Splunk are on same server)?

[ananthan123]

Hello,

We have installed Splunk on our rsyslogd server and would like to parse all the rsyslog data to Splunk.

Can I configure as below to collect the data locally ?

*.* @@127.0.0.1

Do I need to anything else except, adding the above line?
