Sure...  When you do group mapping, map them to groups that don't have the domain admins in them.  I have a separate OU=Groups that has "Splunk Users, Splunk Admins, Splunk Power Users" as group names, and specific users…

Learning, learning, learning . . . Our Splunk "expert" is gone, and the non-programmer gets to learn the task! How do you spell SPLUNK?

Light forwarder sends directly to an Index on the splunk server

Is it possible to have a splunk light forwarder (with unix enabled) to send its logs to a seperate index on the splunk server?

Thanks everyone :)

Yes its possible, you can read it on http://www.splunk.com/support/forum:SplunkAdministration/3994
You have to edit the props and transforms (on receive) like :

props.conf

[host::devhost*]
TRANSFORMS-dev = IndexIs-dev

[host::prodhost*]
TRANSFORMS-prod = IndexIs-prod

transforms.conf

[IndexIs-dev]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = dev

[IndexIs-prod]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = prod
Worked perfectly! thanks!
you an also set an "index" setting in inputs.conf

[monitor://var/log/messages]
index=mysweetindex
Would that be at the light forwarder side? i am running unix and splunk light forwarder at the lightforwarder.
