Getting Data In

The only way is to use UF to send logs?

To get logs from either Windows or Linux path, is there a different way to use a Universal forwarder? or is it the only way?

 

I don't know how stupid the question is but it's better to make sure

Hi @splunkcol,

There are other ways to get data into Splunk, the most common being raw TCP or UDP ports, i.e. syslog, and the HTTP Event Collector.

Do you have a use case that precludes or prohibits using Splunk Universal Forwarder?

My client asked to inform him if outside the agent another method can be used.

He even mentioned that the agent's technical requirements seemed very high.
