For forwarding all you need to do is open/listen to a port on the server &amp; tell the forwarder to send data there. (splunk add forward-server ...). In the latest release, it's recommended that all forwarders <EM>also</EM> be deployment clients (splunk set deploy-poll ...). This ties into the server class concept where forwarders (configured as deployment clients) can be managed in groups.</P> Mon, 04 Apr 2016 23:49:07 GMT jterry 2016-04-04T23:49:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-configure-Splunk-Light-for-receiving-data-from-a/m-p/205454#M40545 <P>I have Splunk Light on Windows and the Universal Forwarder on Raspberry. According to docs, I need to create a server class for receiving data. The admin UI does not give me an option to do so.</P> <P>How do I configure SL to receive data from a UF?</P> Mon, 26 Oct 2015 11:02:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-configure-Splunk-Light-for-receiving-data-from-a/m-p/205454#M40545 andig2 2015-10-26T11:02:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-configure-Splunk-Light-for-receiving-data-from-a/m-p/205455#M40546 <P>The distinction between a forwarder &amp; a deployment client is blurred in SL.
