Hello,How can I get notifications.log from the Leader Node, and forward them to Splunk?

Install a Splunk UF on the leader or install a Cribl Edge agent on the leader - one of those can forward the leader's logs on


So there is no way to forward it with the help of the Leader?There would be an option to send it from workers via Splunk HEC though. But trying to see if Cribl Leader is of any help in this matter


Edge is preferred, of course 🙂


Leaders don't transport data


you can query the API


using REST Collector


Worker -> REST call to Leader -> send results


And if I have more than one Worker, would it result in duplicates?


no. REST Collections are coordinated by ... the leader


Okay. Thanks a lot!


One solution is to create a REST API CollectorCollect URL = `http://leader:9000/api/v1/system/logs/notifications.log`And in the Authentication use the ' Login ' option to obtain the bearer tokenAt that point you can forward the data to Splunk
