How do I list all active input stanzas in all apps?

Is it possible to get an list of all input stanzas currently configured?

I am currently looking in to performance issues on my forwarders and it would nice to be able to just get a list of the input stanzas instead of manually having to look in all input.conf files in all default and local folders in all apps and the system folder.

You can execute the following command to get the effective inputs configuration:

splunk cmd btool inputs list

To just get the monitor inputs execute

splunk cmd btool inputs list monitor

To just get the stanza headers, you can do

splunk cmd btool inputs list | grep "\["

(All the examples assume you have the splunk binary in your PATH)

Btw. this works for all other configurations as well. For example query the effective props.conf:

splunk cmd btool props list
