Explanation:

According to the Splunk documentation1, a heavy forwarder is a Splunk Enterprise instance that can parse and filter data before forwarding it to an indexer.A heavy forwarder can perform line breaking, which is the process of splitting incoming data into individual events based on a set of rules2.A heavy forwarder can also apply other transformations to the data, such as field extractions, event type matching, or masking sensitive data3.
