So I don't need to care where it stores the forwarded data!</P> <P>But now the situation is I have only forwarder and I need to forward data to non splunk server (a dumb machine). Here how to configure the forwarder and mostly <STRONG>On the Dumb machine how to receive the data?</STRONG></P> <P>Simply I need to receive data on my local machine directory: c:\ReceivedDataFrom\Client1\Folder from Splunk forwarder installed on Client1 </P> <P>Thanks.</P> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:09:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Universal-Forwarder-use-to-forward-data-to-non-splunk/m-p/79848#M16421 ajaykulkarni 2012-10-04T11:09:46Z Re: Splunk Universal Forwarder use to forward data to non splunk system https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-Universal-Forwarder-use-to-forward-data-to-non-splunk/m-p/79849#M16422 <P>What kind of "dumb machine" are we talking about?
