I have indexer 7.2.3 and I want to install a forwarder in w2003 server, which splunk forwarder version I have to install in order to get data form that windows server 2003?

Hi,

Forwarder are up fowards compatible with splunk enterprise version.

See this for full list :docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/7.2.3/Forwarder/Compatibilitybetweenforwardersandindexers

You do have to install the windows version of Universal Forwarder though.

Did you face that kind off problem?
Thanks

Ah okay I see what you mean.

Yes support for 2003 was removed with 6.3. so latest version would be, but theses forwarders can sent to newwer Indexes for sure ( if you stick to the instructions in the Compatibility chart)

Thanks, so I have to install Forwarder version 6.2.15 in windows 2003 server in order to get data in the 7.2.3 indexer?
If I install forwarder 7.2.3 in windows 2003 server I will not get any data in the 7.2.3 indexer?

If I unterstand the docs correctly thats it yes. Just try it in your text stage.
