On the linux instance you'll have to use either conf files or the command line to forward data to the windows instance; see <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Forwarding/Configureforwarderswithoutputs.confd">here</A> on how to do that.</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 11:53:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179578#M36040 jeffland 2015-05-04T11:53:41Z Re: Need to establish a TCP connection with my HOSTS https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179579#M36041 <P>Hi,</P> <P>Thanks for the answer. I have setup receiver and I have enabled this.<BR /> Now my node tries to setup a TCP connection by sending SYN. Now the splunk server sends SYN ACK and my node sends ACK to this.<BR /> Then immediately, the splunk server sends FIN -ACK to this.</P> <P>Pls help me in solving this.</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 12:23:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179579#M36041 arun85_123 2015-05-04T12:23:12Z Re: Need to establish a TCP connection with my HOSTS https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179580#M36042 <P>Well, does your forwarder have any data to forward?</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 12:39:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179580#M36042 jeffland 2015-05-04T12:39:48Z Re: Need to establish a TCP connection with my HOSTS https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179581#M36043 <P>Yes. After establishing the TCP connection, it will have the events which it will forward.</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 12:43:36 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179581#M36043 arun85_123 2015-05-04T12:43:36Z Re: Need to establish a TCP connection with my HOSTS https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179582#M36044 <P>Sorry if I missed it, but then what's the problem?</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 12:45:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179582#M36044 jeffland 2015-05-04T12:45:40Z Re: Need to establish a TCP connection with my HOSTS https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179583#M36045 <P>The TCP connection is getting refused.

Why that is I have no idea, sorry - but the connection is there and it works as it should.</P> Mon, 04 May 2015 13:05:09 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Need-to-establish-a-TCP-connection-with-my-HOSTS/m-p/179584#M36046 jeffland 2015-05-04T13:05:09Z
