I simulated the existing scripts and locations  already in the system.   I did have success with linux with shell.  No data is returning.   Is there a recipe out there or advice to get results to appear ? ...

I inherited splunk enterprise installed on ec2 instances.     We have cloud watch sending log data to our splunk -   how do I get that data feed into an index. (not indexers) so confused. ... View more

I am creating an index - configured the inputs.conf file. I have two prod servers with app logs that have the same Linux path  Additionally, I have two test servers (Non-Prod) both had the same linux log paths , but different from the prod servers. Besides hard coding the servers in the inputs.conf file how does the process determine what host to collect the log data from identical paths listed in the inputs.conf some questions: Can I use the same index with prod and non prod (best practice ?) So the inputs.conf has the index=x under the log stanza name  , so that maps the inputs.conf file to collect the data and the data belongs to index=x. In the deployment I create a serverClass with all 4 servers (prod and non prod) and assign the server class to the App that has inputs.conf file.  Should I be creating separate indexes (prod and non-prod) then create separate  Apps (prod and non-prod)  then create separate ServerClasses (prod and non prod) ?   ...
