If you're using Splunk in your company, you may well want to ship your Artifactory logs to it. When using Kubernetes, a common use-case is to push logs to files that end with stdout stderr on a pod to Splunk. Accordingly, it's important to be aware that your Artifactory logs are managed by the logback.xml file, which can be found in the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc folder. That file also controls where Artifactory stores logs that use appenders. Therefore, you can simply add an appender to push everything to a stdout log file, which will then be picked up by your external Splunk forwarder.
