<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I guess you could use something like the global_event_handler option. Simply provide a small script that copies across the files you need to your remote splunk server and then set the global_event_handler to be enabled. This would copy it across every time an event occurred, so you may need to put some logic into your script that only copied after a certain duration to avoid too many connections to your remote host.
