Hello,
I am an experienced Splunk Enterprise user and administrator using Splunk Cloud Light for the first time.
I am trying to follow the directions here to set up monitoring a syslog stream via TCP to monitor a Heroku instance.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkLight/6.4.0/GettingStarted/Monitornetworkports
The process is described in a Splunk Blog entry here: http://blogs.splunk.com/2014/04/10/splunking-heroku/
Clicking Add New next to TCP on this screen
Takes me to a selection screen for Forwarders, but I simply need the monitoring not the forwarder configuration.
Also following the directions on this screen doesn't show a TCP option (only HTTP):
https://my-instance.cloud.splunk.com/en-US/manager/search/adddata/selectsource?input_mode=1
This person also seemed to encounter the same UI bug as me, but he is actually trying to configure a forwarder whereas I am not. https://answers.splunk.com/answers/390942/how-to-configure-a-forwarder-to-listen-on-tcpudp-f.html
Please advise.
Thank you,
John
