Monitoring Splunk

Unix / Linux Addon

Hello,

in many linux versions the comman netstat is now deprecated. Now you have the problem to use the sourcetype netstat within the Linux/Unix Addon in Splunk. Is there a possibility to use another command, e.g. ss instead of netstat in future as sourcetype? Many thanks in advance.

If you have access to the app config files, you should be able to swap the netstat command with "ss," though I couldn't tell you exactly how without knowing which app you are referring to.
