Solved: Can I forward logs from a Heavy Forwarder in JSON ... - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

I wanted to ask if it was easy or possible to forward logs if some may be in text format from a HF to another device and send in JSON format?

Solution

Splunk supports forwarding data in raw form or in syslog form, but not JSON. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Forwarding/Forwarddatatothird-partysystemsd

Go to https://ideas.splunk.com to suggest they support JSON.
