i added two files to /opt/splunk/etc/apps/AppForMcAfeeWebGateway/local/ and then added an inputs.conf and indexes.conf file and my stuff started to work. hope this helps.

Hello,

you can get the logs via syslog, using the splunk forwarder oder reading local files - it depends on your setup.

In any case you have to define the sourcetype manually, see the step #4 of the install instruction:
From the App, go to Settings > Data inputs and configure Log Input; click "More settings", select drop down "Set the source type" to "Manual" and type in "MWGaccess3". (see one of the screenshots).

best regards
Pavel
