Collector forwarding data

[4quarks]

Hello everyone,

I’d like to use the collector as a "middleman" to simply forward data. In my DNS configuration, I have something similar to [1], but I’m curious if it’s possible to configure the collector to only receive data and send it to another instance without sniffing the data itself.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

- name: sniff

routes:
- from: [ sniff ]
to: [ remote_instance ]

You mean, forward DNS packets without decoding or inspecting them?"

Exactly, the final receiver should get the same information as a direct receiver ([1]) would without any transformation.

It's available but only with the DNStap proxifier
