Hi @asmafirdous,
you can index:

• every type of text files,
• script outputs,
• database queries,
• WinEvenLogs,
• PerfMonitor,
• syslogs,
• SNMP,
• other sources using pull clients (e.g. eSteamer).

For more infos see at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Data/WhatSplunkcanmonitor or https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Data/Getstartedwithgettingdatain

Summarizing each kind of text file.

the port depends on the source (e.g. using Forwarders ususlly 9997, syslogs usually 514, etc...).
