Description

Log forwarding from a host to Splunk indexers can be handled by the Universal Forwarder. The package installs `/opt/splunkforwarder` and `splunkforwarder.service` for a background agent that collects and sends configured machine data. Forwarded logs can expose private paths, credentials, and host activity, so destinations and inputs need careful control.

How to run

/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk

Commands: /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk
