Are you talking about C2 audits or getting data out of the databases in to Splunk? Can you provide a little more detail about your request?

As Anthony Reinke suggested, please provide much more details in your posts to get more complete answers in this forum. Otherwise, users have to keep asking you more questions to get more details rather than giving you straightforward answers.

If you mean the log files in the filesystems, you can install a forwarder and threat it as a normal file.
If instead these logs are inside the database, you should use the dbx app.
