That must be new because every Windows UF I've installed has asked which inputs I want to enable. So if the installer isn't going to do then you'll have to do it. Create the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\my_AD_inputs\default. In that directory, create and edit a file called 'inputs.conf'. Add the following lines, changing 'checkpointInterval' to different value (in seconds, if desired). [WinEventLog://Application]
checkpointInterval = 10
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
start_from = oldest
[WinEventLog://Security]
checkpointInterval = 10
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
start_from = oldest
[WinEventLog://System]
checkpointInterval = 10
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
start_from = oldest
[WinEventLog://Forwarded Events]
checkpointInterval = 10
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
start_from = oldest
[WinEventLog://Setup]
checkpointInterval = 10
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
start_from = oldest Create an index called 'wineventlog' on your Splunk server and then restart the UF.
