Hello, I am setting up a log collector with a Universal Forwarder attached for collecting network logs (syslog-ng) and then sending them to Splunk Cloud. I am wondering if there is a good rule of thumb/best practice as to how many devices, or how much data should be sent to one collector/forwarder. I plan to collect logs from: 6 firewalls, 32 routers, 165 switches, as well as some software logs like Cisco ISE. All of those devices are spread around the world. Should I set up collectors in regional data-centers, or would I be OK sending everything to one?
