I am evaluating Splunk Light.
I want to collect data from a socket port on an external device. I was hoping that by configuring a TCP data input, entering the correct port number and source type, I would be able to get that data into Splunk Light. However, I am missing one datapoint, the host where the data needs to come from.
The Add Data panel asks me for TCP/UDP, port number, Source name override, and Accept connections from.
