Dear all.

recently, i am try to use Splunk Free , how can i take the forwarder auto send logs to receiver after installed ?

as before, i will select "Data inputs---Forwarded inputs---Windows Event Logs" to input the logs from forwarder manually, but in Free version, platform doesn't support this feature, my platform and forwarder version is 7.0.2.

thanks in advance.

I think that it is good to install and transfer "universal forwarder".
