Hello Splunkers!

I have a question, i have installed a universal forwarder on a AIX server, but all the logs arrives on the index "main", they should be arrive in one especific index that i created. How can i fix this issue and why is this happening?

Check the inputs.conf file(s) on the forwarder to confirm an index is specified for each input.

i have added the next information on the inputs.conf file without any change (informix is the index)

[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/audit]
index = informix

Did you restart Splunk after making the change?
