Hi, I have configured a basic splunk instance and it is indexing locally. I wanted to add a universal forwarder from another linux server and have the *nix app forward to the indexer. I have configured a data input on the indexer on port 9997 which shows as active (I checked it with strobe from another machine).
I installed the universal forwarder on a different server and set up the indexer as the forward server. It shows as inactive.
/opt/splunkforwarder/bin # ./splunk list forward-server
