Encoding for forwarded data

I have files in CP866 encoding. For indexing them in Splunk i made _russian-CP866.ngram file and changed props.conf this way
[host::]
CHARSET=russian-CP866
What should i do for indexing files in CP866 encoding, which are forwarded by universalforwarder from remote host?

CHARSET must be specified on the input, i.e., that config must be on the Universal Forwarder.

Where can i do it? In Universal Forwarder there is no ngrams-model folder.
