Can Splunk index gzip/zip files (flat-file format)?

Pedantic reminder that "zip" != "gzip". One of these (.zip) is the venerable PKZIP format that allows multiple files within an archive. The other (.gz) is the gzip single-file compression format.

Nope! It indexes it right out of the box.

props.conf, transforms.conf

OK, good. Are there config changes that need to occur?
