There are TAs available for *nix and windows hosts that define inputs.conf for data collection. You would install these on your hosts running with a splunk forwarder or full splunk enterprise and forward events collected to your indexers.

*nix:

win:
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742/

There are also the Splunk app for Windows Infra and *nix with prebuilt dashboards to visualize the data collected.

Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure:

installation docs:

Splunk App for Unix and Linux:

That's a pretty wide-open request. Since none of us are familiar with your environment, it's difficult to give specific guidance. Have you tried a search for the software name in quotation marks? What else have you tried?
