Ansible Splunk Forwarder Role

July 31, 2021September 1, 2021 AONeil

I recently had to reinstall my personal Splunk instance and reconfigure my endpoints to log back to my Splunk. In the past, it was a long process of SSHing into each host and manually reinstalling Universal Forwarders on each host. Thankfully, I’ve been learning a bit of Ansible and decided to take on a small side project of building a role that installs Universal Forwarders on Windows, Debian, ARM (Rpi), and FreeBSD clients.

pfSense, Suricata, and Splunk

May 6, 2020January 1, 2021 AONeil

There are a few blogs out there on the internet that walk you through setting up a pfSense Splunk forwarder, and a few more that talk about getting your Suricata IDS logs into your Splunk, but there is not an all-in-one guide to help you do both. Today we hope to solve that problem and give you an all-in-one guide on how to do this.

Unraid on a Dell R510 – How to install and get started

After years of running Windows Server as my primary server OS for my homelab, I am starting to branch away and go different routes with how I want my homelab to function.

While this served its purpose, I recently replaced my laptop OS from Windows back to glorious Linux and Windows SMB for file shares wasn’t cutting the bill. This blog post is the journey of getting Unraid onto my Dell R510 outfitted with 35TB of spinning disks.

Grafana on Ubuntu Server 18.04 | InfluxDB / Telegraf

December 11, 2018October 22, 2019 AONeil

Recently, I setup Grafana at my workplace to allow more visibility on our network. In the past I have played with Grafana in my homelab but I didn’t understand how It could be useful for me at the time when I only had one server. Now that I have a handful of servers that can be a pain sometimes to monitor, I’ve decided to give Grafana another go.
