The nf file provides the most configuration options for setting up a file monitor input. (The result is the transforms-class etc doesn’t work in HF/Indexer). You can use the nf file to monitor files and directories with the Splunk platform. Structure data means CSV/Json, and UF will parse it, and set the flag (_linebreaker key), so that when the receiving UF/Indexer got it, it will go directly to indexer pipeline.

A universal forwarder is a dedicated, lightweight version of Splunk that contains only the essential components needed to send data. To perform the installation of the universal forwarder, you do not need to. The data collection node is now set up and ready to receive files and forward those into Splunk. Optionally, the Splunk Forward input file (/etc/system/local/nf) can. If this is a concern, please see our documentation regarding Sinkhole vs. By design, this input will index and then delete files immediately.Be careful with your direction of and count of slashes.Identify or select a port in Received Data to listen to. for Windows, the contents of nf will look like these - with the D:\path\to\files\ pointing to the folder where your SFTP server saves the files: In the indexer user interface, go to forwarding and receiving, or go to nf.for Linux or Unix, the contents of nf will look like these - with the /path/to/files/pointing to the folder where your SFTP server saves the files:.To that file, add the following contents depending on your UF’s Operating System:.Make sure the user Splunk runs under has permissions to this file and folder. You may need to create the folder“local” and the file itself. Create the input by adding this config to an nf file located at “$ SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA_cisco_cdr/ local/nf”.
