Adding additional servers to *Nix app?

mmorales — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:47:03 PDT

Im having the same problem_{and I dont know how to add additional Solaris boxes on my Splunk NIX app.

So far, my NIX app is monitoring CPU, memory, etc on its own box} but I dont understand how to make the NIX to 'see' the same from all other machines on my network.

Adding additional servers to *Nix app?

We have many existing Linux hosts running the Splunk forwarder and we don't really have access to the local webUI on each Linux host. Can we simply copy the *NIX app over to our Linux forwarders and restart Splunk to get the *NIX metrics forwarded to our Splunk server?

If you install splunk, enable the unix app, and configure it to forward from another server to your indexer, that will do it. you could also do it without forwarding via distributed search, but that means that you'd be running an indexer on the other host, which isn't usually what you want.

I am evaluating the latest Splunk release and is there a way to add additional servers to monitor in the *Nix application (CPU, memory, disk etc)?
