For example, i have two hosts.
The data is in host1.
Now the host2 need recived data, wheather i can send the data to host2 by socket?
Syslog or other way?
I want use splunk forwarder,because i have lots of host1, if i install splunk forwarder in every host1, its too much.

The appropriate way would be to install a Universal Forwarder on the hosts you want to read data from. You say that it's "too much" to install forwarders on all hosts - why is that? What issues are you seeing with that?
