Getting Data In

Can a single universal forwarder forward data to two different indexers?

Hi

I am using a Universal Forwarder, say in Machine A. It has logs at one path, say Log Path1. Now I want this Forwarder to forward LogPath1 data to one indexer say "B" and to other indexer say "C".

Is this scenario possible? pls help.

This is only available in with the heavy forwarders.

@bmacias84 While per event routing will only work in heavy forwarders / indexers, generic cloning using only inputs.conf and outputs.conf which deal with data sources as wholes will work in Universal forwarders as well. (you might even be able to do per-event routing if you have a data source using INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS on the UF as well :), but that's a big exceptional flow)

I'm pretty sure a universal forwarder can do load balancing and data cloning.
