Can a Windows input be set up using a Universal Forwarder on a Windows server to send data to an Indexer running on Linux?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for certain data types

  4. Only with specific configurations

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because a Universal Forwarder can be installed on a Windows server and is capable of collecting and sending data to a Splunk Indexer that runs on a Linux system. Splunk's architecture is designed for cross-platform compatibility, which allows different components of the Splunk infrastructure, such as forwarders and indexers, to communicate with each other regardless of the operating system they are running on. This feature enables organizations to leverage their existing infrastructure and choose the best operating systems for each component based on their specific needs. Therefore, using a Windows Universal Forwarder to send data to a Linux Indexer is both feasible and a common practice in Splunk deployments.
