Hi guys i just started using Splunk and i am trying to create a Splunk app that will connect to any syslog server over the internet to get raw TCP or UDP logs from a remote server into splunk index and i do not know how to implement it. I want to include a page UI for the user on my APP to easily configure the details of the remote server such as choosing TCP or UDP connection, Port, which network to exclude out, the IP address of the server...etc. Currently i am unsure about how to set up the page to configure the settings for the UI, i want my end product to turn out similar to splunk data inputs but want the page to exist in a page on my app. I do not want to use any other add-on. 1) Where do i create the page? On the APP or on the APP add-on 2) Do i have to use modular inputs? 3) Does the page need to use the setup tag or form tag ? (I want it as a page that exist in the nav bar) 4) Do i have to create a python script to link the inputs in the UI page to inputs.conf file? 5) Do i have to edit the restmap.conf file first to link the python script to restmap.conf? 6) Can i create a button on the page to test for connectivity after the user saved the settings? 7) Do i have to make a custom stanza for it and point the input to the stanza value? If so how do i specify in the stanza that it comes from inputs e.g. leaving it blank ... View more
