I am collecting logs from an Ubuntu server (16.04) using Splunk and would like to create an alert for when the Ubuntu system restarts. Does anyone know which logs or events I can utilize to trigger an alert when the Ubuntu server restarts?

For Ubuntu: I used the command [sudo] $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk enable boot-start But when i rebooted the machine, I check the status of splunk forwader by using command ./splunk status. It returned "splunkd is not running". For Windows: according to Splunk document, Splunk will run automatically after startup. But after restarting the machine, i checked in the Task Manager, the SplunkForwarder was not running.
