Build scripts to create basic splunk nodes or heavy forwarders with syslog-ng

Purpose

This repo is for community scripts to be shared from.

These scripts are community focused and not supported or endorsed by Splunk, use at your own risk

Scripts starting "enterprise" are designed to create a vanilla splunk enterprise node, which can be configured into an indexer, search head or any other node as required after script run

Scripts starting "hwf" are designed to create a base HWF with Syslog-NG configured and ready to receive events, with Splunk set to monitor those folders - check the video link below for an 8 minute run through

Notes

  • The splunk admin password is hardcoded into the script, ensure it is changed before / after the installation
  • Any HWF addons are installed from a static .tar so may be out of date, update if required after script run
  • For splunk cloud customers, contact Splunk support for a free heavy forwarder licence
  • These scripts are designed to be run on a vanilla fresh install of centos, they take no care for any existing configuration
  • If you are creating a golden image, run this command before locking to prevent duplicate guids etc /opt/splunk/bin/splunk clone-prep-clear-config
