How to install splunk app for linux without installing the universal forwarder?

[sabaKhadivi]

Can I use splunk app for linux without installing universal forwarder on each linux host I need their logs?

[pgelnar_hci]

you can use forwarding from syslog (rsyslog, syslogng etc) or as named above. i prefer fluentbit

The app is useless without the logs but certainly there are may ways to get them in. You can use the UF, snare, fluentd, to name just a few tools.

If you are referring to Splunk Add-on for Linux then you could read the documentation around this for example configure collectd to send data

If you are using collectd on the remote machines you would not need a universal forwarder on each Linux machine.
