Getting Data In

where is the forwarded data?

I configured a linux forwarder. The receiving one is a windows splunk server.

The splunkd.log says that events are dropped, how do I don't see the linux datainputs on windows server. How do I check the datainputs that were specified on linux instance are forwarded properly.

Do you have an "os" index created on your windows splunk instance?

If you have the unix app setup on your linux splunk instance, it will automatically use the "os" index as a default destination for some events. However, this is not setup with this "windows" app or by splunk's default configs so you may need to create this index manually.

On your indexer, go to Manager » Indexes » Add New and call the index "os", then restart splunk.
