Splunk Related powershell scripts

Our Endpoint protection is blocking multiple powershell scripts that seem related to Splunk.

Can anyone explain what these scripts do?

nt6-siteinfo.ps1

nt6-health.ps1

nt6-repl-stat.ps1

 

Thanks!

Hi @Elky,

These scripts are for Active Directory monitoring and they are inside Splunk_TA_windows app bin folder.  You can find inputs.conf settings for these scripts below, they should have been enabled by Splunk Admin. After confirmation you can disable that inputs on those endpoints.
