enabling forwarder in manager breaks splunkd, how to fix??

I installed Splunk on Win2k8 R2 and enabled the universal forwarder. Then splunkd would NOT function properly.

Should I install the universal forwarder into the Splunk server per se??

The only way I will be able to use Splunk is to NOT enable the universal forwarder...

We are only monitoring a few servers, so we've started with Enterprise and will later change to Free.

Thank you, Tom

One Answer:

1	The universal forwarder is a separate executable; you do not enable it from full Spunk. Please refer to: http://answers.splunk.com/questions/13233/how-do-i-enable-the-universal-forwarder link answered 31 Mar '11, 00:15 Steve G. ♦ 268●8 accept rate: 33%
