I've watched a number of howto videos on splunk.com and you see them type in {{vi **config_file.**conf}} and up comes the config file in pretty colors. Does anybody know if they have a special ...

Splunk and FreeBSD 7.0?
(Not tagged)
Are there any plans for a release of Splunk for FreeBSD 7.0? The current release won't work as btool is linked against the old pthreads library, and 7.0 uses libthr (pthread 2.0). Is there any hope for splunk to work on my server again?

I want to delete data older than a certain age, but at the same time want to continually feed data to Splunk. ...

devices behind router
(Not tagged)
I set up some machines to send their logs via network ports (udp:514) but since they are behind a router they are all showing up under one hosts in the dashboard. How do I get each machine to show up under hosts with their own hostname and not the router's hostname?
