When I had initiall installed my forwarder I selected "security" as one of my inputs. Now I want to remove this as an input but when I type "list monitor" I don't know which input refers to the security one.

Just go to the inputs.conf file on the forwarder and look at the monitor settings. Remove what you don't want from the file and restart Splunk. See the link below.

It must be located in another inputs.conf. Take a look at those as well.

I checked inputs.conf file under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ but dont see any reference for Application eventlog. Am i looking at the right inputs.conf file?

I have the same issue, while installing the forwarder i have selected application and system eventlog as input and now i dont need that anymore. What needs to be done to stop sending the eventlog data to indexer?
