whitelist blacklist inputs.conf not respected

Hello guys,

we used this in inputs.conf according to the Splunk CIM compliant addon for Unix and Linux :


[monitor:///var/log]
whitelist=(messages|secure|auth|maillog|audit\.log|cron)
blacklist=(lastlog|anaconda\.syslog)
disabled = 0
index = linux

However on UF it still looked for /var/log/anaconda/pre-anaconda.log and others, this looks weird behaviour?

Thanks.

Splunk enterprise 7.3.4

UF 7.1.4

Hi,

 

Your blacklist not correct, if you want to blacklist pre-anaconda.log then use below blacklist.

blacklist=(lastlog|pre-anaconda\.log)
