Yes, it is possible, but there are considerations.  Splunk has a document on the subject.  See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.3/Data/ConsiderationsfordecidinghowtomonitorWindows...

Can you please share some helping document of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or or a third party distribution solution such as Puppet., the tool used to collect logs .
