Forward Option gather and forward data to indexers over a receiving port from remote machines.
Forward Option gather and forward data to indexers over a receiving port from remote machines.
The forward option is used to gather and forward data to indexers over a receiving port from remote machines. This is a fundamental function in the architecture of systems like Splunk, which use forwarders to collect and send data to indexers for further analysis and storage. This capability allows for centralized data management from various remote sources.
My previous comment went wrong, so again: I agree with foxx99, as it is written on page 44: "Forward Option: Main source of input in production environments. Remote machines gather and forward data to indexers over a receiving port."
Like foxx99 said, you can find it on page 44: "Selected Answer: A The "Forward" option in Splunk is used to forward data from a forwarder to an indexer or another forwarder. The forwarder sends data over a network connection to the indexer, which then indexes the data and makes it available for search and analysis."
B - True the forward option is for heavy forwarders. Not a clickable option on universal, I think.
B - True. Page 44 splunk 7x fundamentals Forward Option - Main source of input in production environments. Remote machines gather and forward data to indexers over a receiving port.
The "Forward" option in Splunk is used to forward data from a forwarder to an indexer or another forwarder. The forwarder sends data over a network connection to the indexer, which then indexes the data and makes it available for search and analysis.
i thought it was from "local"
A is right
