Forwarding specific data?

Hi Guys, My question is, is it possible to only forward specific data to my Splunk environment? So my situation is: I have a distributed production environment and 2 separate development servers with standalone instances of Splunk. I want to forward the linux logs from my DEV servers to my production environment, is this possible without forwarding other data we index in this development environment? We put data into these dev servers before we put it into production so we don't want all of the data we have going into dev forwarding to production, we only want the linux server logs! I thought about installing a separate UF on the dev boxes and getting that to do the job but the management port 8089 is already in use from the main splunk instance and it's a bit of a hassle setting stuff up for a new management port etc. Cheers!
