Our proxy logs are stored in windows server in gzip format. When i installed a heavy forwarder, the logs were not getting forwarded to splunk server. Is there any other way to forward the logs to a splunk server?

in your inputs.conf, try this:

[monitor://your_path_gzip_stored_on_windows_server/.../*.log.gz]
sourcetype=your_sourcetype_name
index=your_index_name
