I'm setting up an Auto-Scaling group in Amazon using an AMI. I want my logs, specifically apache logs, to be pushed into my Splunk server, but want to make sure I do this properly. So the set-up is currently it spins up the AMI and runs a user data script to prep the system for the proper set-up either test or prod. We can have anywhere from 4-18 servers depending on load. Would it be best to install the forwarder on the AMI or is there another way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help, Josiah

Thanks for the help. I have been working in Linux for 1 month so far and am still learning all of these little things.

We installed Splunk about 1 month ago and need to update to the latest version. I am fairly new at my job and am having issues updating the application. I downloaded the splunk6.1.4.rpm file from Splunk's download page, but how do I update the application? I tried: sudo rpm -Uvh splunk6.1.4.rpm //yes I did change the file name this gave me error when I ran it from my home directory and from /opt/splunk . Any ideas or a point in the right direction for documentation would be great. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
