I have only a deployment server at the current time and to get ahead of the game we going to roll the UF to our windows servers as this can take months. My deployment server has no apps, so it is just the client reporting. I currently have configured 2 client but only 1 shows up at a time. If one is showing and I bounce the other client splunk service it will show but the other client disappears?
Hi,
have you cloned the UF as it would explain why you only see one ?
if that's the case, use the splunk clone-prep-clear-config
read http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/latest/Forwarder/Makeauniversalforwarderpartofahostim... for more info.
If that's not the case look for duplicate value in the name /clientname sent by your UF
should this be done before I create the image or can it done as part of the install script?
