Can you forward specific indexed data from one server to another?

[michel_wolf]

Hello,

Here is my scenario server:
Splunk_A has index_a index_b and index_c
Splunk_B has Index_d index_e and index_f

Is it possible to copy only index_f from Splunk_B to Splunk_A and configure forwarding and receiving only for index_f on Splunk_B?

Several options here.

1. You could create index_f on splunk A and then copy the warm/cold/frozen buckets from Splunk A to Splunk B. That’s a one time fix.

2. You could create an outputs.conf with a special server group that sends to Splunk A and Splunk B. Then using _TCP_ROUTING in inputs.conf you can specify which server group from outputs.conf that you want the data to be sent to. This is a more permanent solution that ensures future data goes to both places. See inputs.conf and outputs.conf documentation for more details.
