Getting Data In

How Do You Forward Data to Syslog Server and Indexers?

What I am trying to do is to get a particular source type forwarded from the heavy forwarder to a syslog server. In addition, I want the data to also go to my indexers. Is it possible to do this? What configuration would be needed?
