Help to onboard automatically a csv in splunk

Hello

I try to summarize the different steps to onboard automatically a csv file in Splunk

1) On the forwarder:

- I need an inputs.conf to tell the forwarder what data to send. (And eventually props.conf)

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Inputsconf

- I also need an outputs.conf to tell the forwarder where to send the data. 

inputs.conf

[monitor://C:\Program Files\SysCheck\Logs\*.txt]

outputs.conf

[tcpout:anyName]
server=indexer.myco.com:9997

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Outputsconf

 

2) On the indexer

I need to configure the receiving port on http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/Forwarding/Enableareceiver

Is it correct?

Thanks

Hi @jip31,

yes it's correct.

Only one additional step: if you have a csv file, you have to also add props.conf (containing INDEXED_EXTRACTION = csv ) to the Forwarder.

Ciao.
