Here is the situation
What are the suggestions to do that?
How can we check whether the data is being sent successfully to the hosts?
Hi Amanteja,
1 - To enable automatic start on boot:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk enable boot-start
2 - Restarting a failed process is a OS specific (non-Splunk) configuration option. A quick Google search came up with this for RedHat, but may not be totally suitable for your environment:
3 - This is an OS setting. Splunk will pick up whatever IP address is assigned by the host.
4 - The license page is only displayed upon the first start of the Universal Forwarder. If started with the following prompts, this will not be seen again:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk start --answer-yes --no-prompt --accept-license
5 - To pick up the desired configuration, I would have the host pick up the configuration from a central Deployment Server. Details of how to do this can be found here:

Happy Splunking 🙂
