Is there a native app / forwarder in Splunk to send logs from mainframe to Splunk server. 3 Answers. If you can write the log files to a shared filesystem like NFS, then a forwarder on a Linux/Windows box could access the log files there. If you have syslog on the mainframe, or a similar tool that can emit the data over a network port, Splunk can monitor the port. You could use any other mechanism for transporting the log files from the mainframe to a Linux/Windows box.
