Splunk app for Windows infrastructure

I have installed Windows infrastructure app on Splunk search head (which is  a server)

The app requires multiple indexes(msad, perfmon, wineventlog) and all indexes are receiving data except for msad

Attached is my indexes.conf file

 

[msad]
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/msad/colddb
enableDataIntegrityControl = 0
enableTsidxReduction = 0
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/msad/db
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 512000
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/msad/thaweddb

[perfmon]
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/perfmon/colddb
enableDataIntegrityControl = 0
enableTsidxReduction = 0
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/perfmon/db
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 512000
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/perfmon/thaweddb

[wineventlog]
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/wineventlog/colddb
enableDataIntegrityControl = 0
enableTsidxReduction = 0
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/wineventlog/db
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 512000
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/wineventlog/thaweddb

[windows]
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB\windows\colddb
enableDataIntegrityControl = 0
enableTsidxReduction = 0
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB\windows\db
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 512000
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB\windows\thaweddb

The Active Directory data gets indexed into the msad index.

If in that sever you are getting AD data then only msad index will show events.

Is indexes.conf required for Splunk Addon for Windows v800/Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure v201?

Its unclear from the documentation, as Splunk_TA_Windows (v800) documentation says indexes.conf is removed?

Do I need an indexes.conf in my \local\ folder for MSAD, Windows, Perfmon, Wineventlog?

 

cheers 🙂

Did you intend to post two questions on the same topic?  Perhaps they should be combined.
