Getting Data In

How to forward Windows logs from a Splunk indexer to a Syslog server?

Hi,

We are collecting Windows logs from a universal forwarder in a Windows Splunk Indexer. Now, I want to collect those logs from the Splunk indexer in a SYSLOG server. Can I achieve this?

If what you're saying is that you want to pass the Windows log data collected in Splunk on to another application like syslog, then I don't think Splunk is engineered to do that; it takes data in and indexes it, but doesn't really have a way to forward it on to other apps. I believe you would do better to configure Windows to pass the data directly to syslog, not through Splunk, especially if Splunk is running on Windows too.

Splunk sends multiline windows events (as in case of Syslog default log size) but do not offer any token to combine those multi-line logs. How can I tackle this?
