Yes.<BR /><BR /> Do you need to? It depends.<BR /><BR /> What McAfee product are you trying to integrate?<BR /> If you just need to send logs to Splunk then a universal forwarder is better to use than a heavy forwarder.<BR /> For some McAfee products (like EPO), you need to use DB Connect to read data from a database. That requires a heavy forwarder.</P> Wed, 20 May 2020 14:06:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/can-i-install-heavy-forwarder-on-my-windows-server/m-p/501512#M85471 richgalloway 2020-05-20T14:06:41Z
