Data Forwarding

Data Forwarding allows you to forward log data to an external server or supported storage service. There are two different types of data forwarding: 

• An Installed Collector can forward raw log data to an external destination at ingest time using the following protocols:
  • Syslog (TCP and UDP)
  • Generic REST API
  • Hitachi Data Systems HTTP REST API
    note

    Archive allows you to forward log data from Installed Collectors to AWS S3 buckets to collect at a later time.

• Partitions or Scheduled Views can forward log data to an AWS S3 bucket. See Forwarding Data from Sumo Logic to S3 for details.
• Data Forwarding is not currently supported for data in the Infrequent Tier.
