Hi,
We collect sar/iostat data on our servers which are written to files. I would like to view the data collected in splunk using nix. At the moment we rsync the files from our production system to our internal systems for monitoring. I would like to have our internal splunk system index this data and view it using nix. Is this possible given our current configuration.
Thanks
Sure, you will just need to have Splunk index the sar/iostat output files with the same sourcetype as the unix app is expecting (e.g. sourcetype=sar, sourcetype=iostat). You will also need to ensure that field extractions are consistent between the default unix extractions and your data.
