Sending Periodic Stats Logger metrics to Splunk with the Splunk Universal Forwarder

Use the Splunk Universal Forwarder to monitor the logs/dsstats.json file and forward the metrics to Splunk.

Before you begin

Enable the Periodic Stats Logger plugin.

Steps

  • Under the Splunk Forwarder application files, update the etc/apps/search/local/inputs.conf file with the following configuration for dsstats.json:

    [monitor:<server-root>/logs/dsstats.json]
  sourcetype=log2metrics_json
  index=<index-name>
  disabled=false
  host=<paz-host>

    You can customize the index name and configure the host value to label where the metrics are being forwarded from.
