Can the universal forwarder handle that? If it can, where do I tell the UF which data to collect? Thank you.</P> Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:21:37 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Data-collection-using-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/70805#M14413 NikitaY 2012-09-25T22:21:37Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Data-collection-using-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/70806#M14414 <P>Yes, the universal forwarder can do remote wmi polling: </P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Deploy/DeployaWindowsdfmanually">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Deploy/DeployaWindowsdfmanually</A></P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/ConsiderationsfordecidinghowtomonitorWindowsdata#Polling_data_remotely_over_WMI.3F_Be_sure_to_read_this">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/ConsiderationsfordecidinghowtomonitorWindowsdata#Polling_data_remotely_over_WMI.3F_Be_sure_to_read_this</A></P> Tue, 25 Sep 2012 22:41:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Data-collection-using-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/70806#M14414 jbsplunk 2012-09-25T22:41:50Z
