Splunk Forwarder,Installation

[harshavrath]

Hi

I have Installed Splunk as an "Local User" on my desktop i'm planning to give access to other desktops by means of intranet. Now the question About Splunk Forwarder is will i be able to install the forwarder in an server or another desktop where my DB Logs are situated and access the logs files from my desktop where i have installed Splunk(Local User).Installation is done in Windows system.

Any Suggestions are Appreciated,

Cheers.

Why are you asking the same question over and over again? This is now the third time you're asking the same question......

Yes. Review the architecture and inputs sections below. A basic understanding of what gets where and how will take you a long way.
