Fortinet FortiGate APP: Data from different indexers and sources

Hi all,

Have gone through my splunk answers and tried quite a few options in setting up a Fortinet Fortigate app. Still not successful. Please help me with some more guidance.

1) My requirement is to get those beautiful dashboards already setup by Fortigate App.
2) Logs from my forti solutions are going into different sourcetype and index types.
3) How do i map it to Fortigate app? Below are my configs.

Anything am missing here?

My inputs.conf (etc/apps/Splunk_TA_fortinet_fortigate/local)

sourcetype = XXX

props.conf

[XXX]
TRANSFORMS-force_sourcetype_fgt = fortigate
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

...........

transforms.conf

sourcetype

[fortigate]
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype
REGEX = fortigate
FORMAT = sourcetype::fortigate

dyude @venkasplunk ,

You will have to change the predefined macros and eventtypes.... Open the search of the panel ... search the macros and eventtypes .... change it to ur index and sourcetype!

Hope this helps!
