Getting Data In

Forwarding a copy of indexer received data to SecureWorks

We need to forward a copy of the data we are indexing to Cisco Secure works. We are running around ~400 Universal forwarders and two indexers

I have read http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Deploy/Forwarddatatothird-partysystems but it appears that to do this we would need to install heavy forwarders on each of our ~400 hosts.

Ideally we would want to forward the data from one place (or indexers). Another approach I can see happening is to install a heavy forwarder on the indexer itself and have it forward incoming data from the Universal forwarders to a third party system. Can anyone validate if this is valid conclusion?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi all, looks like the only way to accomplish this is through the forwarders. Did some further reading and I don't see sending cooked data to their product as a viable solution.
