If you're not using Splunk Enterprise Security, then there is no Notable ID to send to Phantom. In this case, if you're just using Splunk Enterprise (core), you can use an Adaptive Response action that is provided with the Phantom app for Splunk (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3411/) to forward your alerts. You can choose either "Send to Phantom" or "Run Playbook in Phantom". The documentation is at https://my.phantom.us/4.2/docs/admin/splunk ... View more

There is no need to have a heavy forwarder if you're simply monitoring the Bro log files. Provided you don't choose to use a heavy forwarder, then you have no need to have the technology add-on (TA) on the forwarder. Regarding the Bro source, the only thing you need on the universal forwarder is the inputs.conf file that specifies what you're ingesting. The Bro TA does need to be on the indexer because that's where the basic parsing happens, such as line-breaking and date/time extraction (note that if using a heavy forwarder, that basic parsing happens at the forwarder). The TA also needs to be on the search head for things such as search-time field extraction. All that being said, Splunk will ignore any directives that do not pertain to the level of processing it's doing as part of the data indexing pipeline. So, there is little impact if you want to put the TA at every level of you're Splunk infrastructure, forwarder, indexer, and search head. Here are the gory details if you'd like to dig in further. http://wiki.splunk.com/Community:HowIndexingWorks ... View more

The Fortigate app is rather old and doesn't appear to have been tested with the 6.x version of Splunk. You may want to email the author about that and see if it is still under active development. That being said, I don't see anything in the app that would prevent it from working in Splunk 6.x. What version of FortiOS are you using? The readme file in the app says that version 4.0MR3 is supported Try putting a file called inputs.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_Fortigate/local/ with the following contents: [monitor://<full path to your log file>] sourcetype = fortigate After that file is in there, restart Splunk and your log file should be read in and processed. ...
