Why am I unable to send data from a universal forwarder to a heavy forwarder with sourcetype iis?

Hello, I am working on a PoC env. I have a Universal Forwarder monitoring a directory for new data, tagging with a sourcetype and sending to a Heavy Forwarder. When I try to send data from a UF to a HF with sourcetype `iis2` it works, however, if I try with sourcetype `iis` it doesn't work. I use syslogSourceType and dest_key syslog_routing, I presume the whole setup is incompatible with sourcetype `iis` and should be handled differently. I'm simply interested in forwarding this data to a local service (port 44444) for a test. The data I'm feeding for my test is actual IIS log data that I add little by little to simulate a real IIS log. Can you guide me on how to configure this properly to forward/transform iis as if it was syslog to a local socket? Here is my working setup: CentOS 6.7 Package versions: Splunk Universal Forwarder 6.3.1 (build f3e41e4b37b2) Splunk 6.2.5 (build 272645) **Universal Forwarder** 10.24.0.210 */opt/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/inputs.conf* [monitor:///var/log/test] sourcetype=iis2 crcSalt =version1 disabled = 0 */opt/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/outputs.conf* [tcpout] defaultGroup = default-autolb-group [tcpout:default-autolb-group] server = 10.24.0.206:9997 **Heavy Forwarder** 10.24.0.206 */opt/splunk/etc/system/local/props.conf* [iis2] TRANSFORMS-nyc = TRANSFORMS-act */opt/splunk/etc/system/local/transforms.conf* [TRANSFORMS-act] REGEX = .
