Local Event Log Collection on Mac

Hello,

I am brand new to Splunk and after watching a short tutorial to get started, I saw that Settings => Data Input => Local Event Log Collection did not appear on my version of Splunk Enterprise. I have it on Mac OS Monterey and it seems to work fine, but I know most use it on Windows. Please, can someone help me find how to log local events on Splunk for Mac?

Thank you for your help.

Hi

the newer splunk versions have added own monitor for macOS’ logd. You should use it. https://lantern.splunk.com/Data_Descriptors/Mac_OS/Collecting_Mac_OS_log_files
