Hi Team,
We need your help related to file permission. We are installing the spunk agent on the AIX servers to read the log files. We don't want to add Splunk ID to the group for reading access.
We are trying with ACL command such as acledit, aclput etc to provide the read access to the path of the log.
We have to try to provide access with these steps
1) export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
2) command: acledit dir
3) enabled
permit r-- u:abc_id
4) to provide read access recursive under dir
aclget DIRECTORY | aclput -R DIRECTORY
Question: Is there any better way to provide read access to Splunk users to historical ?
Could you please help us with how to provide the read access to all the historical files and new files with ACL?
