Hi everyone, 

We are currently looking a config file(s) that consist of the details below, instead of running executables. Running the executables require privileged access, which we are trying to limit. Are there any config files that we can check that has the outputs below.  If yes, please share the relevant config files details.

#./splunk display listen

#./splunk show deploy-poll

#./splunk list forward-server

#./splunk show servername

#./splunk show default-hostname

# /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk list monitor

# /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk version

 

Thank you. Cheers.
