True or False: A Heavy Forwarder re-parses data in the Cloud after it has parsed data before forwarding.

A Heavy Forwarder is designed to parse and transform data before it forwards it to its destination, which can be a Splunk instance or Splunk Cloud. When data is received by a Heavy Forwarder, it performs data parsing and indexing operations locally, ensuring that the data is formatted and enriched as needed before it is sent out.

Once the data is forwarded to Splunk Cloud, it does not undergo further parsing in the same manner; instead, the Cloud platform ingests the pre-processed data as-is. The intent of the Heavy Forwarder's functionality is to optimize performance and manage bandwidth by ensuring that the data is already processed before it reaches the Cloud.

Thus, stating that a Heavy Forwarder re-parses the data once it reaches Splunk Cloud is incorrect. The data retains its parsed state as it was handled by the Heavy Forwarder, making the assertion false.
