Lists of error logs to monitor

Hi!

I would like to know if there are lists of logs that splunk itself
writes when any kind of system error occurs.

I am planning to monitor logs with other software but are there any such thing?

Thanks,
Yu

Yes, Splunks log are written to $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/ and the most interesting files are probably:

splunkd.log
splunkd_stderr.log
and any crash logs.

You would probably want to look into using the Splunk On Splunk App, which will help you with troubleshooting your deployment.
