I have a clean install of the newest GA Splunk + the universal forwarder on one windows server.
I did a basic setup, didn't configure anything than forwarding and receivings etc. basic stuff. I have a default configuration in Splunk_TA_windows which configures the destination index correctly as default for all things it monitors.
Almost all data is going to correct indexes, but I noticed some of the perfmon-data is in the default main index and nowhere else, for example these are in the main index:
[perfmon://CPU]
counters = % Processor Time
disabled = 0
instances = *
interval = 10
object = Processor
useEnglishOnly=true
index = perfmon
[perfmon://LogicalDisk]
counters = % Free Space; Free Megabytes
disabled = 0
instances = *
interval = 10
object = LogicalDisk
useEnglishOnly=true
index = perfmon
These collections:objects go to main index:
Available Memory:Memory
CPU Load: Processor
Network Interface:Network Interface
Free Disk Space:LogicalDisk
You can see this for example here:
... and here:
I noticed, that this seems to go like this:
object=Processor collection="CPU Load" --> main
object=Processor collection=CPU --> perfmon
object=LogicalDisk collection="Free Disk Space" --> main
object=LogicalDisk collection=LogicalDisk --> perfmon
... so the collection is different.
I confirm that I DO NOT have any other configurations that would change the index, no transforms, no nothing. The only place that configures these indexes is the inputs.conf in Splunk_TA_windows and it's default and correct.
Any idea why this happens? I did two times a totall clean install without any additional my own configurations and this happens.
