The following table describes each parameter that you can set in your logd input stanza. For more information, see Use forwarder management to manage apps topic in the Updating Splunk Enterprise Instances manual. (Optional) Use a deployment server to push the changes to your settings to other forwarders in your Splunk platform deployment.For example, if you define five unique stanzas on a forwarder, the logd input returns five unique reports. The number of stanzas determines the number of input instances that are run.

For a full list of parameters, see the Parameters table.
Define the logd stanza by configuring data retrieval and data formatting parameters. Navigate to splunkforwarder/etc/apps/logd_input/local/. On your forwarder, navigate to splunkforwarder/etc/apps/logd_input/default/. For more information on configurations, see the spec file splunkforwarder/etc/apps/logd_input/README/. Start with a simple configuration before you build something more complex. Here's a few best practices to keep in mind when configuring your logd input Best practices for configuring logd input In order to read logd files, you must run Splunk with Admin privileges. To limit this, use the logd-starttime configuration parameter described in this task to specify the earliest time for records to be read. By default, the input ingests all available historical data stored by logd, which can be days, weeks, or even months of data. logd input is supported on macOS 10.15, 11, or 12.īefore you run logd input for the first time, decide how much, if any, historical data you want to ingest on the first run. Using the logd modular input, the forwarder pushes Unified Logging data to your Splunk platform deployment. Logd input is a modular input that collects log data.
