I'm looking to setup a multisite indexer cluster. And due to GDPR, I'd like to have a non-replicated index on one of the sites. Is this possible?

I wish I could have solved the actual issue, but in the interest of time I was forced to wipe the Splunk instance and start over again. Now things are working as expected.

This gives me more info that doesn't seem to be congruent with the btprobe info.

It's an eStreamer rotate...so I'm not entirely sure what it is doing in the background 😞
I do know that the modtime for the files aren't being updated, so I think that is why they keep getting fully reindexed:
# /services/splunk/bin/splunk cmd btprobe -d /services/splunk/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket/splunk_private_db/ --file /services/splunk/etc/apps/eStreamer/log/estreamer.log.1482202447
Using logging configuration at /services/splunk/etc/log-cmdline.cfg.

# /services/splunk/bin/splunk cmd btprobe -d /services/splunk/var/lib/splunk/fishbucket/splunk_private_db/ -k 0x40ebb995eb99a09d --validate
validation result: OK

I hope you're right.

Edit 1:
I think eStreamer is keeping the file descriptor open, so mdtm and scrc never get written...

I'm looking to upgrade from 6.4.1 to 6.5, and I came across this:
Windows 7 x86-32 & x86_64: Free/Trial and Universal Forwarder support has been removed.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.0/ReleaseNotes/DeprecatedFeatures#Removed_platforms
Well, there goes my plans for 6.5, nearly all my Windows endpoints are Windows 7...
Anyone here make the jump to 6.5 with Windows 7 UF's?

Does anyone know of a way to dump a list of deployment clients that are forwarding via splunktcp-ssl? So I can focus my efforts on those first.

If I enabled in system/local with:
[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0
Would the configs in Splunk_TA_windows/default/inputs.conf be applied?
[WinEventLog://Application]
disabled = 1-> 0
start_from = oldest
current_only = 0
checkpointInterval = 5
renderXml=false
Or will he have to copy/paste all that into system/local?

I use my deployment server to deploy the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows to Universal Forwarders.
Splunk_TA_windows/
├── default
│ └── inputs.conf #unchanged defaults
├── local
│ └── inputs.conf #edited
I enabled the Security log in local/inputs.conf, like:
[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0
Everything works great. However, I have one user that wants to enable a few things. Let's say that he wants to:
[WinEventLog://Application]
disabled = 0
Where would he make that change? Wouldn't the deployment server overwrite Splunk_TA_windows/local/inputs.conf if he made the change there?

Hmm, I'm not seeing src_ip and src_nt_host.
These are the inputs that I have enabled:
###### OS Logs ######
[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0
[WinEventLog://Application]
disabled = 0
[WinEventLog://System]
disabled = 0
###### Host monitoring ######
[WinHostMon://NetworkAdapter]
disabled = 0
###### Network monitoring ######
[WinNetMon://inbound]
disabled = 0
[WinNetMon://outbound]
disabled = 0
Any ideas?

Yea, I suppose that would somewhat work. I was hoping to use the Splunk for Windows App to get all network adapters information in full. IP and MAC and DNS, etc.

I would like to get the IP address of my Windows universal forwarders.
[WinHostMon://NetworkAdapter] doesn't give an IP, just MAC address.
[WinNetMon://inbound] and [WinNetMon://outbound] give an IP address, but it is also very noisy.
Does the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows have a way to poll the UF IP using an interval?

Yes, that is an accurate summary.
Also, I have looked at Splunk's routing and filtering of data that you linked. It doesn't solve my problem because very often in my environment, sysadmins will install a Splunk Universal Forwarder on their systems but won't allow me access to them for purposes of configuration. So, I can't control hostnames. All I can do is point them to my deployment server. Filtering on sourcetype doesn't work either, because the sourcetypes will be the same.

It's not the same data. I want the default index to be set depending on the subnet that is used to check into the deployment server. That index holds the generic logs, like /var/log/secure and syslog, etc. And in one-off cases, like /var/log/finance.log would go to index=finance.

I considered this route, however, I want to maintain the flexibility of sending data to specific indexes. For example, if I have a nix box that has the Splunk_TA_nix app sending to index=div02 for the sysadmins; I might also want to send other data to index=finance for the finance people.
I'm getting the feeling that this might be a case of wanting my cake and eating it too lol

I wish it were that easy. In my case, when a Universal Forwarder checks in to my deployment server, it gets an inputs.conf with it's [default] index=. All data from that client, unless otherwise specified, goes there.
That way, I can give login's to sysadmins who represent each "div" and they won't have unnecessary access to another division's data.

I agree with this. However, I need to remove the index= attribute, not modify. And use another app to apply the [default] index=. Does that make sense?
