yes you can assuming you have a transport mechanism from the device to splunk. If you can use a universal forwarder (on a known supported os) you can create a scripted input. This means that the output of the script run gets written into splunk. With embedded devices, like I believe yours is, you are probably going to need to write out to splunk using syslog. And it’s unlikely you can run a netstat on it unless you can shell into it and find a way to write to splunk. Nmap allows you to probe from a central location and you don’t need to be local to the host, just a bash shell So you could have a server that gathers information on the other devices using a scripted input that runs nmap. hope this helps
