SPLUNK INPUTS.CONF ADD APPLICATION TAG HOW TO
Question is, how are the monitor inputs able to resolve the host=$decideOnStartup to the correct host name, even when placed under /etc/system/local while the Stream input is not? Anyone seen this before and have suggestions on how to get past it, without having to either (a) manually set the host field or (b) redeploy the forwarders without a copy of the inputs.

Once the Splunk App for Stream is pushed to the forwarders, the stream data though picks up the host as $decideOnStartup unless either the host is explicitly set in the nf under /etc/system/local or the forwarder is cleaned up, and no nf from /etc/system/default is copied over to /etc/system/local which then effectively means the forwarder creates one at startup with the resolved hostname under which then keeps things humming along. Details on the setup and configuration of the data inputs can be found in the Setup section of this document. Splunk Application Performance Monitoring Full-fidelity tracing and always-on profiling. For more information, see Administrative CLI commands in the Splunk Enterprise Admin Manual. In the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services, click Inputs. for directory /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SplunkTAstream/local nf.
SPLUNK INPUTS.CONF ADD APPLICATION TAG INSTALL
Running the clean command removes your indexed data. The problem - I have a variety of Linux VMs running universal forwarders, forwarding syslogs and custom logs and the like to the central Splunk server weve set. I have an app installed on the search head, but i had to manually install the app. The monitor inputs however, do get the resolved (correct) host information, as per below. To remove checkpoints and input data for all modular inputs, run the following command: Bash splunk clean inputdata Caution Be careful when removing checkpoints. In the Splunk Add-on for ServiceNow, click the Inputs tab.

This carries over the default stanza with host=$decideOnStartup into the nf under local as well Configure inputs on your data collection node, usually a heavy forwarder. All the forwarders are pushed to end-points using chef and they currently copy over the nf from /etc/system/default into /etc/system/local adding a couple of monitor stanzas to the one in local to monitor additional files. Running into a strange scenario with host field resolution in combination with Splunk App for Stream.
