Is there a corresponding utility according to SendToSplunk for Linux? (Splunk Universal Forwarder is oversized for my requirement)

Hi @r_pf,

in Windows is helpful a tool like that because you cannot use syslog and WMI is to avoid to send data to Splunk.

As I said, in linux you can use syslogs to send logs to Splunk.

I don't understand why you said that UF is oversized for you, I always prefer to use UF and I hint to move your mind on this idea because it's easier, more sure and gives you many advantages in security, management, easy implementation, bandwidth optimization.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
