Hi There,
Can i please know the ports to be opened for heavy forwarder , indexer , universal forwarder ?
I think you want to take a look at this post : https://answers.splunk.com/answers/58888/what-are-the-ports-that-i-need-to-open.html
It has an excellent diagram and listing of all the ports required for traffic flows.
Thank you for the reply.. But it seems like HF is using port 9997 to communicate to indexers and 8089 for deployment server . I thought different ports for heavy forwarders .
TCP/8089 is the default management port used by Splunk for communicating with other Splunk instances (And REST API.)
Port 9997 is not a default port, but in the examples this is the SPlunkTCP Input port on the indexers that takes Splunk Cooked data from a HF. (So the UF/HF sends to TCP/9997 on the indexers.)
All of these ports can be changed via the configuration files.
