Hi all! I have to install a Splunk server and a universal forwarder (as a syslogserver). To the UF, I send data from the firewall, switches and access points. I use the native log forwarding methods from the devices to send the data to the UF. Now I have to create some dashboards, including when a device is reachable, down, critical...(ping?) Or also the bandwith from the firewall... For these, I want to use the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux on the UF, and then the APP on the Server. Is it possible to send the data from the device to the UF (with Add-on installed) without installing a UF on the firewall or switches? Or is there maybe a preferable way to deploy it, with another app or something? Thanks for your help! ... View more
