How to upload multiple files in the Splunk?

[supunsap]

If you want to upload multiple files in Splunk, you can zip file and browse it

Do you want to upload them from the Web UI? I don't think that would work with the wizard there.

However, if you can, simply move your files to the instance running splunk and add a file monitor to those files, indexing them only once (not continuously).

Is there no way to upload the directory to the splunk likewise we uploaded files?

[csnidsplunk]

Why dont you put them all in a zip. Keep under 500 MB and u have your one file. 😉 Worked for me.

[swati_sharma]

yes, through Web UI, If I am not wrong, you want to say that we can't upload directory having 1MB*100files to the splunk.
Is there any other way by which we can upload the directory to the splunk.?

[jeffland]

Why don't you try either the oneshot from the cli, or if you like to work with the ui setting a monitor to that directory, indexing once? That does exactly what you need.

How else would you "upload" a directory? The "Add Data" wizard handles individual files, I don't see how you would apply it to more than one file.

Please reply as soon as possible. whatever it would be.

I would use oneshot from the cli. The web interface doesn't support multiple files. Just run oneshot from any forwarder configured to send to your indexer.
