Typically you would put a forwarder on the system where the data resides and then use that forward data to your splunk indexer(s). </P> <P>If it is, this should <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/Monitorfilesanddirectories">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/Monitorfilesanddirectories</A> help you out.</P> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:39:50 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64551#M96902 dart 2013-03-18T10:39:50Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64552#M96903 <P>I'm sorry, you mean to actually put some log files on your Splunk Forwarders? This is not a "Splunk" question. You have to ask your SysAdmin how to put files on Splunk servers. On Windows, there are various solutions like FTP, RDC with local disks sharing, NFS, etc. etc.</P> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:45:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64552#M96903 stefano_guidoba 2013-03-18T10:45:08Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64553#M96904 <P>Dart my forwarder lies in EC2.<BR /> Stefano_guid you hit the nail, thats what i wanted to know.<BR /> Thank you both for reply.</P> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 11:24:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64553#M96904 sumanth_isac 2013-03-18T11:24:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64554#M96905 <P>I don't know Amazon EC2 aswell, but I'm sure there's a fast way to put files on those machines. Upload via HTTP or FTP, probably.</P> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:07:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Standard-way-to-add-data-files-to-splunk-forwarder-in-windows/m-p/64554#M96905 stefano_guidoba 2013-03-18T12:07:02Z
