SPLUNK UNIVERSAL FORWARDER PROPS.CONF FULL
Universal forwarders do not parse the events it send the events to the heavy forwarders for parsing or to directly Indexer for further parsing and searching of the data.ī) Heavyweight forwarder(HWF) – a full instance of Splunk with advanced functionality. which collects the logs locally and apply metadata fields like source, host, and source type and send it to Heavy Forwarders for further process or directly to Indexer, then the main advantage of installing Universal forwarders is that I can collect full logs on the host like memory utilization logs, registry logs, CPU logs and all. There are two types of Splunk forwarder:Ī) Universal forwarder – Universal forwarder is a lightweight client that can be installed on the end servers like Windows, Linux, Mac, etc. The indexer is the core component of Splunk architecture once it receives the logs from forwarders or end devices it parses the logs compress the logs and write the logs on the disk which is called indexing, Indexer can keep the logs for a long time for compliance, auditing and forensics perspective, Storage where Splunk stores the logs called and Bucket.Ħ) What are the stages of Splunk indexing?ħ) What is a Splunk forwarder and What are the types of Splunk forwarders?Īns.
