hi, i know many have answered this question before but i didn't find any perfect and detailed answer.
Setup :-
UF ---> HF -----> IDX
Q1. i have a file called test.txt ( Location :- /send/test.txt ). i want to send the txt file from to UF to HF to IDX. ( Receiving ports 9997 is open and configured for all as well )
How do i do it ?
Hi @human96
First you need to create inputs.conf in UF under
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/
($SPLUNK_HOME is location where splunk installed ex: /opt/splunk/)
inputs.conf contents
[monitor:///send/test.txt]
sourcetype = <give the sourcetype name which identify the logs> ex:apache_logs
index=<name of index that created in indexer>
index is location where data is stored inside indexer, if index is not created you need to create one
In outputs.conf of UF
mention HF Ip and port numers
In outputs.conf of HF
mention IDX Ip and port numers
example
[tcpout:group1]
server=IP:9997
In HF and idx please enable 9997 port if not aleady done
$SPLUNK_HOME/splunk enable listen 9997
UF ---> HF -----> IDX

Hi @human96,
you have to:
The best approach is to put the inputs.conf in an App and deploy the App to the UF using a Deployment Server.
