Due to internal security policies, a Splunk Cloud administrator cannot send data directly to Splunk Cloud from certain data sources.

What forwarder type should the Splunk Cloud administrator use to satisfy these requirements within their environment?

D.

Universal forwarder as an intermediate forwarder

Answers
D.

Universal forwarder as an intermediate forwarder

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

A heavy forwarder is appropriate in this scenario because it can perform additional data parsing, filtering, and routing before forwarding data to Splunk Cloud. This is particularly useful for data that requires preprocessing or cannot be sent directly due to security policies. [Reference: Splunk Docs on forwarder types and capabilities]
