Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 2008R2, and Windows 2012R2 overwrite the WindowsUpdate.Log file after it reaches a certain size, and then truncate the log file from the beginning. The following may cause data duplication. Copy the contents of the Splunk_TA_windows directory to %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps on other forwarders or use a deployment server and Forwarder Management to distribute the add-on to other forwarders in your deployment.Ĭonfigure Windows Update Logs in nf.Enable the inputs that you want the add-on to collect data for by setting the disabled attribute for those input stanzas to 0.Using a text editor, open the nf in local for editing.If %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\apps\Splunk_TA_Windows\local\nf does not exist, create it.Enabling this input on multiple Splunk instances can disrupt your Active Directory servers and eventually make them unresponsive, preventing users from accessing needed services.
