Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, KISS principle is good. Unfortunately, our scenario is complicated. I seriously want to avoid having an individual user ID on any AIX/Linux server. The Splunk servers will be the only ones with the individual user ID to access splunk ID via su or sudo, but will it be enough to access the AIX/Linux servers? Should there be any need for an individual user ID to exist on all the AIX/Linux servers (non-Splunk)? If so, for what reasons? We can restrict access using sudo for sure, and we do want to remove the individual user ID, except on the Splunk servers, or can the individual user ID be removed there as well?
Please bear with me, but you say the entire Splunk team uses splunk ID and splunkfwd IDs across many servers. Can you please provide further info on your methods of accessing the many servers through those IDs? Please bear with me on this, but at this time, no one is allowed to directly login to the Splunk ID and the perf ID on any server, Splunk server inclusive. Is it necessary to need the perf to run filemon command? I am trying to get a list of commands the Splunk user wants to run to set up a script instead of manually going into every server and such. Thanks so much!
