Hi Splunkers, I have to forward data inside csv files from an on prem HF to Splunk Cloud and I'm facing some issues, cause data seem to not be forwarded. Let me share with you some additional bits.
Info about data
Source data are on a cloud instance (Forcepoint) provided by vendor
A script has been provided by vendor to pull data from cloud
The script is installed and configured on our Splunk HF
Data are saved locally on HF
Data are in .csv files
Info about HF configuration
We create a new data inputs under Settings -> Data inputs -> Local inputs -> Files & Directories
We set as data input the path were .csv are saved after script execution
We set the proper sourcetype and index
Of course, we configured the HF to send data to Splunk Cloud. We downloaded the file from cloud, from "Universal Forwarder" app and installed it as app on HF: the outputs.conf is proper configured, other data are sent without problem to Splunk cloud (for example, Network input ones goes to Cloud without issues; same for Windows ones)
Info about sourcetype and index and their deployment
We create a custom addon that simply provide the sourcetype "forcepoint"
Sourcetype is configured to extract data from CSV; that means that we set parameter
Indexed_extractions=csv
We installed addon on both HF and Splunk Cloud
The index, called simply "web", has been created on both HF and Splunk Cloud
By thw way, seems that data are not sent from HF to Cloud. So, did I forgot some steps? Or I made wrong some of above ones?
