splunkfwd user access to root owned logs - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

Can anyone tell me the best practice for splunkfwd user to access others and root own dir/logs ?

Not interested in changing dir/log ownership.

We could do ACL - lots of work there.

Out of the box what is the access level of the splunkfwd post install ?

Enable the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.2.1/Forwarder/Installleastprivileged
