Hi guitar2002,
you can have both the Splunk instances on the same server but you cannot send logs from a forwarder to a Splunk Enterprise on the same server, because you need two different hostnames and IP addresses.
If you're doing a test of getting data from a Forwarder, you can configure two virtual machines on the same server and use them.
If your need is instead only to run a search on server logs, on Splunk Enterprise you can configure inputs without using a Forwarder.

Bye.

Actually I had succeed to run splunkit gendata and index testing on the splunk server.
Then I run the splunkit-server and splunk-user command in the splunk server for searchtest.
I can see it opened firefox browser and then nothing to do.

Splunk-server console log:

sorry for the typo. I mean run splunkit-server and splunk-user searchtest script in the same splunk server.

with splunk-user, do you mean web interface?
if you have a browser on the Splunk server you can use it for searches.
see tutorial at https://www.splunk.com/view/education-videos/SP-CAAAGB6

I use the splunkIt test tool for the search testing by searchtest.py. but the searchtest.py open the firefox then do nothing else.
I can not see any search action in here.
