Getting Data In

Why is the forwarder sending data to dev?

Our forwarder has the following -

$ cat /opt/splunk/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/deploymentclient.conf
[target-broker:deploymentServer]
targetUri = prod deployment server:8089

However, it sends data to dev. How come?

deploymentclient.conf doesn't configure outputs. But it does tell the forwarder where to get other configurations from, which likely means the deployment server it's pointed to is sending it an app with outputs.conf configured to send to dev. Or it could be that outputs.conf was manually configured on that forwarder to send to dev.

Run:

./bin/splunk btool outputs list --debug

To determine what your current outputs configuration looksl ike, and which files define that configuration.

look at outputs.conf where you have configured data forwarding to maybe dev.
deploymentclient.conf would not help to troubleshoot that.
Also look at inputs.conf file on the forwarder.

The server that is sending data to dev, whats the output.conf file look like?

Another possibility is your routing data via transforms.conf
