I am aware that we can use a single forwarder to forward to multiple indexes; however in my case I am not allowed to touch or alter the existing forwarder as it is mission critical; however I am tasked to do a POC to confirm the forwarding will work to a sandbox machine where we are testing some new Splunk server configurations.</P> <P>Please can someone help me resolve this problem ?</P> <P>Thanks.</P> Thu, 31 Jul 2014 03:05:18 GMT dharanpdeepak 2014-07-31T03:05:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-get-two-universal-forwarders-running-from-one-Linux-box/m-p/164904#M33436 <P>Hello,</P> <P>Please could anyone advice me, how I can get two instance of Universal forwarders run from one Linux Box?

All you have to do is unzip or uninstall to a different location. When you start up the first time, it will also ask you to change ports (since the default one will be occupied). Pick a new port number (it doesn't matter what). That's all.</P> Thu, 31 Jul 2014 03:56:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-get-two-universal-forwarders-running-from-one-Linux-box/m-p/164905#M33437 gkanapathy 2014-07-31T03:56:36Z
