Hi,

I have two Splunk instances and events are being indexed in one instance (indexer) with index name ABC. I want to forward all events from index ABC to the second instance. Please help, how we can do this?

The option "Index and forward" will do the job for you but will cause double Splunk license cost. A better option would be to have clustered indexers. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1/Indexer/Aboutclusters

Can you help with exact outputs.conf and inputs.conf, document creating confusion around.
