Currently Splunk Sandbox DOES support forwarding data via Universal Forwarders.

On the other hand, raw UDP SYSLOG forwarding directly to the Sandbox (without a Universal Forwarder) is not supported. This is done for good reasons. To forward SYSLOG data from a host, a Universal Forwarder can be installed and configured to monitor and push local SYSLOG to the Sandbox.

It looks like Splunk Sandbox (which I believe is different than splunk storm or cloud) only supports uploading data via files. In the Splunk Sandbox instance I just spun up, the only "Add Data" option is to upload a file. I was also wanting to send some live SYSLOG from some of my devices up to the Sandbox, but it appears the only way to really do this is to log to your own server somewhere, take the log files, and then upload them to Sandbox.

Splunk sandbox is currently available off the front page of Splunk by clicking "Free Splunk" and then clicking the Free Online Sandbox link.
This is the direct link http://www.splunk.com/page/sign_up/cloudtrial?redirecturl=/getsplunk/cloudtrial&ac=test_modal_online...

This is correct. The online sandbox only supports file upload, not forwarding or monitoring.
