Getting Data In

Index and Forward data into another splunk instance

I have an existing splunk instance on run version 6. I want to forward a copy of one data type into another splunk instance on a separate server running 6.2. Is there a way to forward a copy of just a specific index into another instance of the splunk server?

Thanks,

Hi blee2,

my approach would be to send this data / events directly to this separate Splunk 6.2 server. If this is not possible for what ever reason; any Splunk instance doing event parsing (Heavy forwarder or Indexer(if no heavy forwarder is in front of it) for example) can do filter and routing. Take a look at the docs http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/Forwarding/Routeandfilterdatad#Perform_selective_i...

this should give a lot of hints how this could be done. BTW an indexer can be a heavy forwarder at the same time 😉

cheers, MuS
