Can Splunk Forwarders be set to restart after system reboot. If yes then what is the process for it?

I want to setup my splunk forwarders on linux machines to restart automatically after the linux machines are rebooted. Is it possible? If so then what is the process?

@prernaprakash ,

Yes, you can enable boot start.

Please refer to the doc https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/RunSplunkassystemdservice
