That makes sense, and yeah, that whole catalog should be there unless
you're dynamically injecting resources.
You might want to add a check before splunk_config['forwarder_confdir'] in
case you didn't find the resource in the catalog so you don't hit a null
pointer issue.
Not seeing a better way to do this right now actually.
